The study that most closely matched our research was recently published by Iversen et al. These Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) , and METTS in Norway . The vitals measured at admission assigns the patient to a triage category, and based upon the clinical appearance of the patients, the triage nurse can adjust the assigned triage category to better reflect the patient. Methods The trial was a non-inferiority, two-center cluster-randomized crossover study where CTA was compared to a local. Further research has shown that morbidity can be predicted with computerized algorithms based on both clinical markers and physicians’ DSR even in ED patients with nonspecific complaints [ 8 ].

A version of RETTS©, called Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System – Hospital Unit West (RETTS-HEV) has also been applied and studied [21, 22]. In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs , patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported, resulting in a patient receiving a higher triage priority than warranted or, alternatively, that a patient might be overlooked in the ED.

Arrival time was grouped into 3 categories to distinguish among daytime, evening time, and nighttime: 7 am to 3 pm , 3 pm to 1 am , and 1 am to 7 am. Furthermore, a review from 2010 questioned the scientific evidence for both triage as a method as well as the Swedish five level triage scale Medical Emergency Triage and Treatment System (METTS. Results: The response rate was 100% (n = 20). 27 The main complaint is registered before any diagnostic proceedings are performed. It is based on triage using vital signs. Open table in a new tab Triage is the variable defining a maximum time limit for medical assessment, and the Danish Emergency Process Triage system. A version of RETTS©, called Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System – Hospital Unit West (RETTS-HEV) has also been applied and studied [21, 22]. Each patient is provided a triage level on arrival which is estimated based on vital parameters such as saturation, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and alertness and indicates the urgency of the condition. The 64 nurses used the normal Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which is similar to systems in Sweden and Canada but not widely used around the world. formalised triage in 2009 and since 2011 Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT)3 has been the triage standard.
