Triage in emergency response refers to determining the priority of victims based on their need for treatment and medical intervention. Today, triage is performed by the use of paper-based triage tags. Communication about patients' status is mainly carried out over radio or through handwritten notes.

The validity and reliability of self-repo...
[1] in taking on the diffi cult dilemmas surrounding triage management and training tied to surge capacity and resource allocation within intensive care settings during pandemics. Studies on triage protocols arose primarily from critical care professionals awakened to those respon sibilities during severe acute respiratory syndrome and then re-challenged during the current H1N1 pandemic [2-4]. ...
conclusions according to the results, there was a direct correlation between access to physical space in ed and waiting time. in addition, improving the physical access did not necessarily result in shorter waiting time. therefore, to improve triage process, improvement of waiting time indices, and modifying forms of work process in ed are recommended. results the correlation between the waitin...
INTRODUCTION Overcrowding in emergency departments (EDs) has become a serious problem for many EDs in this country. As a result, patients may wait longer time periods after triage prior to evaluation by the ED physician. This places additional importance of initial “at the door” triage as potentially sick patients may be subject to very long waits. Minor misjudgments at triage are an expected p...
The emergency medical services (EMS) cover initiatives and services established to provide essential medical assistance in situations of acute illness.

This systematic review ...
