Triage Goals: Rapidly Identifying & Sorting Patients


blog_triagegoals_patientsintriage

A 25-year-old male presents to an emergency department at his local community hospital with abdominal pain. The department is at its peak time of patient flow, and every bed is filled. The patient is called to the triage area; the nurse assesses him and assigns a triage level decision to his chart. His triage nurse must consider the following:

  • Is his abdominal pain a potential for demise?
  • How long will he wait to be seen by a provider?
  • Is there anything that can be done to expedite his care?
