McMASTER + HHSC Triage system and Demand Modelling Tool

已开发了门诊转诊分类的标准化术语和命名系统，该系统捕获了分类类别的量化术语和预约的敏锐度。该术语体系由Vladimir Belostotsky博士、Madan Roy博士和Angelo Mikrogianakis博士开发，并已被加拿大领先的儿童健康杂志《儿科与儿童健康》接受发表。建立在此标准化术语和术语体系基础上的需求建模工具可以调整需求和/或绩效标准，以模拟不同的资源分配场景。根据McMaster和HHSC社区利益相关者的积极反馈，我们请求资金完成市场评估，以确定需求建模工具的市场细分市场以及可能存在的进入障碍。这将为我们的商业计划提供信息，以鼓励成功的技术转让和商业化。

A standardized terminology and nomenclature system for triaging outpatient referrals has been developed thatcaptures quantifying terms for triage categories, and acuity of the appointment. This nomenclature system hasbeen developed by Drs. Vladimir Belostotsky, Madan Roy, Angelo Mikrogianakis and is accepted forpublication in the leading Canadian child health journal Paediatrics and Child Health.A demand modelling tool building on this standardized terminology and nomenclature system, can adjustdemand and/or performance criteria to simulate different resource allocation scenarios.Based on positive feedback from stakeholders in the McMaster and HHSC communities, we request funds tocomplete a Market Assessment to determine the market segments for the demand modelling tool and whatbarriers may exist to entry. This will inform our business plan to encourage successful technology transfer andcommercialization.
