Triage standard North Zealand University Hospital introduced the use of formalised triage in 2009 and since 2011 Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT)3 has been the triage standard. 18, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- A simple clinical assessment seems to be superior to the formalized Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) system for predicting mortality in patients presenting to the emergency department, according to a study published online Oct. The aim of this study was to validate and compare two 5-level triage systems used in Danish emergency departments: “Danish Emergency Process Triage” (DEPT) based on a combination of vital signs andPatients were triaged as usual according to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) , which is an adaption of the Swedish triage model ADAPT. Patients arriving at the ED are triaged using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) system, which is based on chief complaint-specific parameters and vital parameters (see online supplemental figure 1 for an overview of the DEPT system process). They studied a general ED population and not only trauma. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40% (n = 8) used non-validated. Furthermore, a new, simplified triage algorithm. g.

Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)),. Method. These Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [12], and METTS in Norway [13]. Validation of systematic triage is sparse and in this study we compared the systematic triage tool DanishTriage category of the patient Relevant vital parameters of the patient: 6 months after course: Nurse:” This is Maria ∗ from the emergency department. For details on the DEPT triage system see Additional file 1 . Most triage models have been developed on the basis of expert opinion and they are not based on data from large prospective cohorts [15]. The aim of this study was to validate and compare two 5-level triage systems used in Danish emergency departments: “Danish Emergency Process Triage” (DEPT) based on a combination of vital. 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). The chief complaint assigned by the triaging nurse was used as exposure, and 30-dayTherefore, we gathered in-depth knowledge of Danish emergency department nurses' experiences caring for patients who self-harm and obtained their suggestions on future nursing practices. The prognostic value of suPAR was compared to the prognostic value of triage category based on the information from the systematic triage tool, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in prediction of 30-days mortality. For details on the DEPT triage system see Additional file 1. 16 They reported that what they referred to as ‘eyeball triage’, that is, clinicians’ triage decisions in our study, was superior to formalised triage using the Danish Emergency Process Triage. The chief complaint assigned by the triaging nurse was used as exposure, and 30-day Triage is the process of quickly assessing and prioritising patients according to urgency and need for treatment []. 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). The Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System (RETTS©), with annual updates, is the most applied triage system. Data was included regarding the dispatch of the ambulance from the emergency services disposition system, ICD-10 hospital admission diagnoses from the National Patient Register, 48-h mortality from the Central Person Register and assessment and treatment in the ambulance by reviewing the. Et dansk triagesystem har akronymet DEPT for Danish Emergency Process Triage ". Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted to capture the nurses' individual perspectives. A Danish ED is equivalent to an acute. EWSs (National Early Warning Score 2 [NEWS2], modified NEWS score without temperature [mNEWS], Quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment [qSOFA], Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System [RETTS], and Danish Emergency Process Triage [DEPT]) were calculated using first vital signs measured by ambulance personnel. A multi-centre cohort study | Introduction: In the Region of Southern Denmark, the emergency departments categorise patients based on presenting symptoms and a proposed diagnostic package (n = 40. , RETTS and the Danish Emergency Process Triage), which prioritize patients with ongoing pain higher than those with abated painRoutine blood tests are associated with short term mortality and can improve emergency department triage: a cohort study of >12,000 patients. These Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [12], and METTS in Norway [13]. Patients could only participate once but if a nurse participated more than once he/she was included as a new nurse each time, as the aim of the study was to investigate the agreement of DOW-rating in the patient-nurse dyad.
