点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Triage is an essential component of Emergency Department care. It aims to sort patients based on the urgency of their condition such that the highest acuity patients are prioritised for treatment. This research proposal aims to review Australian and international triage scales to assess their effectiveness. In particular, it will investigate whether the Australasian Triage Scale remains fit for purpose, and evaluate the recently devised World Health Organization Triage Scale.
