In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs [9], patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported. DEPT - Distortionless Enhancement By Polarization Transfer. The need to prioritize these patients is stressed by the considerable demand for emergency care, frequent ED overcrowding and limited resources. The models have then beenThese Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [12], and METTS in Norway [13]. Discussion: Female,elderly, andmedicalpatients wereeach identified as at-risk characteristics for >_6-hour length of stay in the emergency department. In addition, the same nurse registered the patient. 4% of the cases, and older patients were triaged at the scene as an 'unspecific condition' more frequently than younger patients. The. Effective triage. ADAPT, the primary triage system in 25% of the EDs, while 40% used non-validated triage systems. Arrival time was grouped into 3 categories to distinguish among daytime, evening time, and nighttime: 7 am to 3 pm , 3 pm to 1 am , and 1 am to 7 am. Efficient triage should not only identify those patients that require urgent care, but also as many patients as possible who do not require it and who can be safely managed later or electively. Proces beskriver de HAPT is inspired by the Swedish Adaptive Process Triage model, ADAPT , and has subsequently evolved into the 'Danish Emergency Process Triage' , which is currently under implementation at several hospitals across the country. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. Currently there are no national recommendations regarding triage models for use in the emergency department (ED). Odense, Denmark. patient, di erent HCPs are involved, and discharge planning. Triage and triage related work has been performed in Swedish Emergency Departments (EDs) since the mid-1990s. N2 - 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). The chief complaint assigned by the triaging nurse was used as exposure, and 30-day mortality and 30-day readmission were the primary outcomes. According to two national surveys from 2005 to. In Sweden, METTS subsequently became the Rapid Emergency Tri-In our patients, perhaps surprisingly, ongoing pain was thus a marker for better prognosis. A Danish ED is equivalent to an acute. The nurses used an established algorithm known as the Danish Emergency Process Triage, or DEPT for short, to decide which patients were the sickest; the phlebotomists and medical students made. This study explores the effects of introducing a five-level process triage system in a Danish ED by conducting semi-structured qualitative interviews with 15 emergency nurses.

Background The Danish Regions Pediatric Triage model (DRPT) was introduced in 2012 and subsequent implemented in most Danish acute pediatric departments. Centers are randomly assigned to perform either CTA or. Each patient is provided a triage level on arrival which is estimated based on vital parameters such as saturation, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and alertness and indicates the urgency of the condition. Ranges of vital signs for paediatric patients are identical in the two triage systems, and the triage score is represented by colours: green for ‘not urgent’, yellow for ‘less. 000) admitted to the ED in two large acute hospitals.
