The triage system ranks patients into five colour-coded triage categories. poster at the Danish Emergency Medicine Conference, Odense, Denmark, 20-21 November. Kasper Karmark Iversen. A framework for a medical emergency decision support system that addresses the challenges of pre-hospital emergency treatment through the use of the patient’s electronic health record (EHR) and artificial intelligence techniques during the decision making process is provided. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40% (n = 8) used non-validated systems. Background. Expand 8 The Danish Regions’ Paediatric Triage Model (displayed in Additional file 1) and the Danish Emergency Process Triage are integrated into the national ePMR system. Trained nurses perform triage before beginning diagnostics and before the patient is seen by a. Triage was done using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). Background Triage and triage related work has been performed in Swedish Emergency Departments (EDs) since the mid-1990s. Ranges of vital signs for paediatric patients are identical in the two triage systems, and the triage score is represented by colours: green for ‘not urgent’, yellow for ‘less. The purpose has been to identify critically ill patients and thereby reduce the waiting time for initial assessment and treatment. However, ADAPT have been triage standard in a modified version called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in Denmark since 2011 . e. Triage system developed in Denmark.

Currently there are no national recommendations regarding triage models for use in the emergency department (ED). 23. 000) admitted to the ED in two large acute hospitals. Five-level triage systems are being utilized in Danish emergency departments with and without the use of presenting symptoms. 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. Sundhedsstyrelsen. Furthermore, a new, simplified triage algorithm. Testing and evaluation is therefore needed. Most ED’s use a slightly modified ver-sion of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11–14]. The use of triage in Danish emergency departments. Methods The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). Patients could only participate once but if a nurse participated more than once he/she was included as a new nurse each time, as the aim of the study was to investigate the agreement of DOW-rating in the patient-nurse dyad. ese Swedish tri-age scales spread to adjacent countries; a modied Dan ish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [12], and METTS in Norway [13]. v.

A nurse is usually the first HCP the patient interacts with; the nurses assesses and prioritizes the urgency of treatment based on symptoms per the Danish Emergency Process Triage and collects clinical data. In Sweden, METTS subsequently became the Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System (RETTS©) [ 14 ], as well as in Norway [ 15 ]. DEPT is a five-step triage system that prioritizes patients according to the degree of life or truancy threat and thereby is indicative of how fast they are to be seen by a physician. A version of RETTS©, called Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System – Hospital Unit West (RETTS-HEV) has also been applied and studied [21, 22]. The objectives were as follows: (a) What is the agreement of triage between prehospital providers and ED nurses, when using Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) correctly?

Methods The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a prognostic and nonspecific biomarker associated with short-term mortality in emergency department (ED) patients. This was a substudy of patients included in the Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) trial, which was described elsewhere [2, 6]. The CTA Study is a randomized trial comparing CTA to the standard Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in an unselected population. The capacity of the ED depends on available resources (i. We found that triage was used at 75% (n = 15) of the EDs; among these only 53% (n = 8/15) triaged all patients. 3 DEPT is the most used triage system in Denmark and is similar to other modern triage system. HAPT is inspired by the Swedish Adaptive Process Triage model, ADAPT , and has subsequently evolved into the 'Danish Emergency Process Triage' , which is currently under implementation at several hospitals across the country. Triage standard North Zealand University Hospital introduced the use of formalised triage in 2009 and since 2011 Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT)3 has been the triage standard.

EWSs (National Early Warning Score 2 [NEWS2], modified NEWS score without temperature [mNEWS], Quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment [qSOFA], Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System [RETTS], and Danish Emergency Process Triage [DEPT]) were calculated using first vital signs measured by ambulance personnel. 23 The highest triage level is received care in trauma room and not expected to be discharged within 24 hours. Data from 3 different dataMethods The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). In Denmark triage has been broadly implemented over the last decade [11] . The aim of this study was to validate and compare two 5-level triage systems used in Danish emergency departments: “Danish Emergency Process Triage” (DEPT) based on a combination of. We found that triage was. Triage-algoritmerne er også. In 60% (n = 9/15) of the hospitals using triage, the triage system had been introduced in 2009 or 2010. In most emergency departments (ED) around the world, patients are initially assessed using a triage system or risk stratification tools. Modellen bygger på erfaringerne med. In Denmark triage has been broadly implemented over the last decade [11]. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. , 2018. Study record managers: refer to the Data Element Definitions if submitting registration or results information. The objective of this study was to compare two such triage systems for assessing vital parameters - a single-parameter system, T-vital, as used in Danish Emergency Process Triage, and a multiple. Prior studies have assessed the congruence between nurse's assessment of their patients' pain intensity and the patients' own pain perception with mixed results. While the participants were hospitalized, they were triaged as part of the medical procedures by the Danish Emergency Process Triage to determine treatment urgency (Nordberg et al. Introduction Triage systems with limited room for clinical judgment are used by emergency departments (EDs) worldwide.
