Study record managers: refer to the Data Element Definitions if submitting registration or results information. An early warning score and an alcohol-withdrawal score were likewise measured regularly in accordance with both local recommendations and. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. 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. ". The chief complaint was registered during triage according to the Hillerød Acute Process Triage protocol and categorized into 41 presenting complaints. The chief complaint. 5%). Most emergency departments (ED) use risk scoring systems to perform triage, [1, 2] and widely used conventional triage algorithms are 5-level scales relying on measurements of vital signs and the presenting complaint [1, 2]. 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. et nationalt tilgængeligt triageværktøj, der henvender sig til alle afdelinger med akut modtagefunktion. , dyspnoea) related to the patient’s chief complaint [12,14]. The ED used Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) for triaging patients on a five-point ordinal scale (1–5, 1, i. We include patients ≥16 years (n=50. We include patients ≥16 years (n = 50. DEPT is a Danish adaption and modification of the “Adaptive Process Triage” (ADAPT) developed in Sweden in 2006 [ 20 ]. 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. Some databases focus specifically on the emergency care process [7-9], but none of. 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. 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. We include patients ≥16 years (n = 50. 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.

The lowest triage level is received care for minor cut or concern by either a nurse or a physician with no examinations. In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) pain is used as an independent contributor for triaging patients and is validated by the Numerical Pain. This was a substudy of patients included in the Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) trial, which was described elsewhere [2, 6]. 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. g. Statistics.

According to two national surveys from 2005 to 2011, triage was carried out with different triage scales and without guidelines or formal education. In brief, the CTA trial was a cluster-randomised, controlled trial comparing the new evidence-based triage algorithm CTA to the Adaptive Process Triage (ADAPT) in two large EDs in the Capital Region of Copenhagen. Trained nurses perform triage before beginning diagnostics and before the patient is seen by a physician. Patients arriving at the ED are triaged using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) system, which is based on chief complaint-specific parameters and vital parameters (see online supplemental figure 1 for an overview of the DEPT system process).

We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. The triage system ranks patients into five colour-coded triage categories. 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. 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. Discussion: Female,elderly, andmedicalpatients wereeach identified as at-risk characteristics for >_6-hour length of stay in the emergency department.
