Filter by:"Triage" is the first process of emergency treatment. It is mainly based on the severity of the disease and the appropriate allocation of limited people, time, place, and medical resources. It is very important and related to the quality of medical care. In order to accurately judge the severity of patients, reduce the individual errors of artificial memory and increase the consistency of the judgment of triage levels, the new emergency five-level triage classification standard (Taiwan Triage and Acuity Scale) was implemented in 2010. , TTAS), the purpose is to allocate medical resources in the most appropriate manner at the appropriate time. It has been revised many times so far, so correct injury classification can maximize the safety of people's lives. This article reviews the relevant literature and finds that to have an efficient injury classification so that each patient receives appropriate medical allocation, an organized, effective and systematic injury inspection process structure is needed to enable the injury nurse to perform correct inspections. Injury skills and cognition should be actively promoted, and this policy must require traumatization nurses to continuously update their traumatization cognition and skills, and must also continue to conduct regular assessments and reviews to continuously improve the quality of traumatization grading by traumatization nurses. It can be seen that triage nurses must have skills, knowledge, attitudes and systems to improve the accuracy of triage levels and ensure the treatment of patients who need priority treatment . Therefore, this study can be used to understand the learning effectiveness of trauma care before and after diversified teaching, which can be used as a basis for teaching new trauma care nurses.
In the year of 2010, the Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare had implemented the 5-level Taiwan Triage and Acuity Scale(TTAS) in Taiwan emergency department. TTAS is a triage system that was modified from CTAS. It has a comprehensive chief complaint system and accomplished with an electronic decision support system (eTTAS) to help triage nurse to assign acuity level on emergency patients in emergency departments of Taiwan. TTAS has adult and children modifiers, but no modifier for the elderly. In emergency departments, the geriatric population have been increasing in many countries for the last few years. They often present with atypical symptoms or signs, and multiple comorbidities that complicate diagnosis and treatment and are at risk of under-triage. Although the TTAS has overall validity and reliability, its performance in geriatric patients has not been well studied. In order to reduce the chance to under-triage the geriatric patients in emergency departments and to improve the discriminatory and predictive power for triaged patients who require admission, the objective of the study is to examine the difference of urgency, admission rate and medical resource consumption of geriatric patients with different age group compared to non-geriatric patients, to develop predictive model for hospitalization and medical resource consumption among geriatric patients and to develop special geriatric modifiers.
