Toward Faster Triage in the Emergency Department
The Context
An emergency department wanted more consistent prioritisation under pressure. A carefully governed triage-support approach aimed to surface urgency sooner.
- Triage decisions happen fast, under load, and with high stakes.
- Variation in how urgency is assessed is understandable but risky, and the busiest moments, when consistency matters most, are exactly when it is hardest to maintain.
