Four medium-sized EDs from different regions across the country cooperated in a joint venture to develop a new triage model, Danish Emergency. The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) aims to be a faster and better way to identify acutely ill patients as well as the less urgent patients in the ED. Process: DNPR, The Danish Clinical Register of Emergency Surgery: Hospital contact in admission units: 8: Time to triage: Proportion of patients triaged within 30 minutes after arrival: Process: DNPR, regional clinical logistics systems: 9a: Time to physician: Proportion of patients seen by physician within 4 hours after arrival: ProcessThe 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. In addition to emergency calls, other medical services are available for less. Multiple logistic regression was used to predict the primary endpoint, 30-day mortality. Implementering af Individual Danish Emergency Process Triage (I-DEPT). cess Triage (ADAPT) and the Medical Emergency Triage and Treatment System (METTS) [11]. Background The Danish Regions Pediatric Triage model (DRPT) was introduced in 2012 and subsequent implemented in most Danish acute pediatric departments. The triage categories are red, orange, yellow, green and blue. a) General maps by which all patients are assessed b) 53 specific contact cause cards, which cover the majority of the reason for patients contacting Danish emergency department. I de fleste akutmodtagelser i Danmark anvendes Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), som er en model, der udspringer af andre nordiske triagemodeller og nu er udviklet og tilpasset forholdene. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Most triage models have been developed on the basis of expert opinion and they are not based on data from large prospective cohorts [15]. Background. without a Danish Central Person Registry number. Study record managers: refer to the Data Element Definitions if submitting registration or results information. 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]. , 2010). 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). Triage and triage related work has been performed in Swedish Emergency Departments (EDs) since the mid-1990s. Formalized triage in the emergency department (ED) is not widely used in Denmark; this study explores the effects of introducing a five-level process triage system in a Danish ED. Most Danish hospitals use the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [17, 18]. The majority of patients in a Danish ED are referred for admission by their general practitioner (GP) or by an out-of-hours GP. Alternative Meanings. deptriage. , 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. 12, 13 Based on presenting complaints and vital signs, DEPT categorizes the patient into five degrees: red (life-threatening); orange (critical); yellow (stable but potentially unstable); green (stable); and blue (unaffected). e. In Sweden, METTS subsequently became the Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System (RETTS©) [ 14 ], as well as in Norway [ 15 ]. The severity score is assessed by measuring the patients´ vital parameters (e. The videos were. Hide glossary Glossary. Included in the analysis were 6290 patients seen in the ED from September 2013 through December 2013, all of whom were evaluated using both a formalized triage process (the Danish Emergency. In 2011 HAPT was customized for local conditions and named Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) . A version of RETTS©, called Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System – Hospital Unit West (RETTS-HEV) has also been applied and studied [21, 22]. Triage is a process that is critical to the effective management of modern emergency departments. All patient visits to the ED from September 2013 to December 2013 except minor. Table 1 shows the five-level Danish Emergency Proces Triage (DEPT) used in the ED, patients are categorised into five triage levels based on vital signs and a presenting complaint algorithm . 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. During the trajectory of the. Patients triaged blue were not. T he . Menu. The ED is semilarge, with 29 000 annual visits. 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 andIntroduction.
