I am currently working on a safety project for the ED I work in with the focus on patients waiting in triage. Can you answer a few questions about your department:
1) How many bed ER do you work at? 2) How long on average, do patients wait in triage before being assigned a bed? 3) How often do you repeat vital signs while the patients are waiting? 4) Do you have a process/protocol/policy for monitoring patients that are waiting in triage?
Any feedback is appreciated!
