I am looking for ED's which are using a short or rapid triage system. That is to say, a facility that utilizes a staff member to collect basic demographic information and chief complaint, assign a priority and then the patient is put immediately into a treatment area for full nursing assessment and medical screening exam/treatment. My facility is redesigning processes and this model appeals to us but we would like to investigate further and talk with sites using a similar process. Please discribe your processes and your backup plans and triggers for initiating them. Please assist me if you can and thank you in advance. Charles.
