The aim of this study was to measure the inter-observer variability when assessing patients using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) (using only vital signs), the Modified Early Warning. The models have then beenObjective To compare the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment (Eyeball triage) as predictors of short-term mortality in patients in the emergency department (ED). Methods The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). Patient triaged at the highest and lowest triage level as per the Danish Emergency Process Triage were excluded. The newly implemented Danish criteria-based dispatch system seems to triage patients with high risk of admission and death to the highest level of emergency,. During the trajectory of the patient, different HCPs are involved, and. The chief complaint assigned by the. Statistics. without a Danish Central Person Registry number.

Trained nurses perform triage before beginning diagnostics and before the patient is seen by a physician. Hide glossary Glossary. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40% (n = 8) used non-validated. The ED used Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) for triaging patients on a five-point ordinal scale (1–5, 1, i. Objective To compare the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment (Eyeball triage) as predictors of short-term mortality in patients in the emergency department (ED). Another study found that DSR from phlebotomists can outperform the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in predicting mortality .
