Time spent in ED for this week’s #TidyTuesday. Mental health patients consistently spend more time across all states

Code on GitHub

A grid map of U.S. states, showing the additional time mental health patients spend in emergency departments compared to non-psychiatric ED visits. Each state contains a horizontal bar chart where longer bars indicate longer additional wait times, colored in warm gradients from orange to purple. The longest delays are shown in Puerto Rico, Delaware, and Maryland, with additional wait times of over 3 hours. State names appear to the top left of each bar, with time differences labeled on the bars. The visualization demonstrates that mental health patients consistently face longer ED wait times across all states.
