We are currently relooking at our triage/streaming process.
While recognising that one size does not fit all, I would be grateful to
understand the initial process of sieving ambulant patients and
ambulance/major patients.
The Manchester triage though sets a priority does not necessarily assist with
streaming patients.
Rapid assessment and treatment is another process that has been suggested
to us. I have used this in larger departments, but in a smaller department like
hours when there may only be 2 other clinicians on seeing patients it makes it
difficult to stream to areas in addition to doing RATS.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.
