Download or read book Emergency Triage written by Advanced Life Support Group (ALSG) and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency Triage: Telephone Triage and Advice complements the highly successful Emergency Triage. The algorithms are rooted in the Manchester Triage System (MTS), which is used in hospitals around the world and which is acknowledged as an effective means of clinical prioritisation. This telephone iteration of a triage system which prioritises millions of patients each year provides a robust, safe, evidence-based system for managing the clinical risk in patients who are at a distance from health care providers. The basic principles that drive the MTS remain, but this book addresses the specific difficulties of assessment by telephone. The possible triage outcomes are "face-to-face now", "face-to-face soon" and "face-to-face later" together with a self-care option. Information and advice is suggested at every level. The advice ranges from life-saving interventions, which can be carried out until health care arrives, to self-care instructions. Emergency Triage: Telephone Triage and Advice provides all the necessary information that telephone triage staff must have to hand as well as including examples of questions to be asked. It will be a valuable resource for staff working in emergency departments, health centres and telephone triage organisations. Furthermore hospitals that are already using Emergency Triage will benefit from being linked with a telephone triage system that follows the same protocols. Updated to Version 1.7 in 2023.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Book excerpt: The Manchester Triage System (MTS) is the most widely used triagesystem in the UK, Europe and Australia, with tens of millions ofpatients being processed through hospital emergencydepartments. Emergency Triage is the core text for the MTS which utilises arisk averse system of prioritisation for patients in allunscheduled care settings, and as such it is an essential text forall emergency department staff using the MTS, in particular triagenurses themselves. The second edition has been revised throughout and takes in thechanges in practice introduced into MTS since the book was firstpublished. These include: Redesigned and expanded flow charts Additional charts for allergy and palpitations New practices - such as the possibility of revascularisation forpatients with stroke New discriminators, for example acute neurological deficit andsignificant respiratory history Redefinition of existing discriminators Also new to this edition is the incorporation of sections on theuse of the risk averse system in telephone triage, in settingswhere ‘streaming’ takes place and as an early warningscore for patients in all unscheduled care settings. The tone ofthis edition reflects the more up to date, modified approach totriage while retaining the principles of clinical prioritisation,which in the authors’ words “remains a central plank ofclinical risk management in emergency care”.

Download or read book Obstetric Telephone Triage written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this thesis was to develop a valid, reliable, and nationwide usable obstetric telephone triage system for unplanned care requests of pregnant women. Also, we wanted to evaluate the use of the system by healthcare professionals within different hospital settings and patients’ experiences of the system. This thesis contributes to the improvement of current obstetric care processes. This is necessary in view of the increased volume per obstetric emergency care department, the pursuit of high-quality interpretation and documentation of unplanned obstetric care consultations. A telephone triage system adds to this need. As stated in the main findings it can be said that The Dutch Obstetric Telephone Triage System (DOTTS) achieved consensus of healthcare professionals after its development with relevant stakeholders (chapter 2). DOTTS consists of five presenting symptoms: fluid loss, vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, concerned pregnant/non somatic symptoms and other physical symptoms. DOTTS consists also of five urgency levels: resuscitation & life threatening, emergency, urgent, non-urgent and self-care advice. This thesis showed that a valid (chapter 3) and reliable (chapter 4) estimate of the urgency levels can be made by using DOTTS and that the use of DOTTS can be safely encouraged in obstetric practice. Further, that the use of a valid and reliable telephone triage system contributes to the correct distribution of human and financial resources. In chapter 5 addition, insight into professionals experiences provided valuable information regarding the aspects that support implementation of DOTTS (chapter 5) in practice. Lastly, in an examination of patients’ experience we found that patients perceived that professionals use DOTTS without losing the human touch (chapter 6).
