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. In the last two decades systematic triage or process triage has become the norm in most countries but this approach is supported by limited evidence. Notably, settling on the most appropriate diagnosis between. In addition, the same nurse registered the patient. 20-21 November 2014 Background Prior to introduction of systematic triage, patients were prioritized in Emergency Departments based on clinical assessment. Search life-sciences literature (42,383,260 articles, preprints and more) Search. 4% of the cases, and older patients were triaged at the scene as an 'unspecific condition' more frequently than younger patients. The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). . In 2011 HAPT was customized for local conditions and named Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) . Validation of systematic triage is sparse and in this study we compared the systematic triage tool Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment by inexperienced hospital staff.

It is introduced in several hospitals in Denmark. triage system used was a Danish adaptation of the Swedish triage system, ADAPT. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40%. Appendix . without a Danish Central Person Registry number. 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. Patients were evaluated primarily by a specialised nurse, and the ED practised a five-level Danish Emergency Process Triage based on complaints and vital values. ADAPT, the primary triage system in 25% of the EDs, while 40% used non-validated triage systems. In Denmark, all healthcare services, including emergency medical services are publicly funded and free of charge. 20-21 November 2014 Background In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) pain is used as an independent contributor for triaging patients and is validated by the Numerical Pain Rating scale, NRS-11. 16 in the Emergency Medicine Journal.

ATS – Australasian Triage Scale, risikofaktorer; CATS – Canadian, vitalparametre og symptonerDanish emergency departments (EDs) handle approximately 1,000,000 patients annually [1]. 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. 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. Abstract.

Efficient triage should not only identify those patients that require urgent care, but also as many patients as possible who do not require it and who can be safely managed later or electively. Arrival time was grouped into 3 categories to distinguish among daytime, evening time, and nighttime: 7 am to 3 pm , 3 pm to 1 am , and 1 am to 7 am.

Trained nurses perform triage before beginning diagnostics and before the patient is seen by a physician. Centers are randomly assigned to perform either. Patients with minor injuries were excluded.

The. Clinical effectiveness and patient safety depends on standardization of the triage process. the Swedish Adaptive Process Triage model, ADAPT [11], and has subsequently evolved into the‘Danish Emergency Process Triage’ [12], which is currently under implementation at several hospitals across the country.
