The Role of Electronic Triage System in Management of Hospital Emergency Department
Journal Title: Bulletin of Emergency And Trauma - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Dear Editor, Emergency department (ED) is one of the most important parts of hospital through which a considerable proportion of hospitalized patients enter the hospital. In addition, it has a significant role on the picture of the hospital in the mind of the general public. Because you may know by a handful the whole sack! Thus the management of ED and optimized use of the available resources in it deserves attention. Within the ED, triage is used to prioritize the visitors. The triage is a process for sorting the patient according to their acuity. Although the primary purpose of the triage is to identify those patients who cannot wait safely, the data produced during it can be used for secondary purposes. Such data can be interesting for managers, policy makers and researchers. The Electronic Triage System (ETS), which recently is developed and used in the country, can accelerate such secondary uses of the triage data and provide the authorized individuals with the quick reports [1,2].
