Clinical Trial Summary

In the emergency department, the urgency for treating patients is determined according to the Manchester Triage System. The parameters collected in this process are deterministically translated into a treatment priority. The Manchester Triage System (MTS), which has been in use for at least 20 years, is a widely used, validated and standardized procedure for initial assessment in the emergency department - this initial assessment (triage) is done to prioritize medical assistance at a central point. Especially in emergency situations, critically endangered patients often require the deployment of a large part of the available staff at the same time - the medically correct triage of patients according to objective criteria in order to enable an adequate allocation of the available resources at the right time is the main objective. In the optimal case, each patient is treated by medical professionals within the time frame that is adequate for his/her health condition. Using artificial intelligence methods, it may be possible to increase the accuracy of treatment priority assignment. In the best case, incorrect prioritization of patients can be prevented and medical care can be ensured for those patients who actually need it most urgently. However, initial assessment, even if standardized and validated, still runs under limited resource conditions - time, space, material and personnel. Last but not least, the very idea of conducting an initial assessment limits its validity, and the results of the allocation fluctuate according to current research, although the determinants of this are currently unknown.
