What can eTriage do?
eTriage is an intelligent automated triage solution for Urgent and Emergency Departments. Patients use a simple, user-friendly tablet-based system to fill in their own details and why they have to come to A&E. eTriage collects the information, looks the patient up on the NHS Spine, captures relevant ECDS data, takes a focused, robust and consistent triage history on the presenting complaint and processes the information immediately into the hospital clinical system, prioritising patients by clinical need.
eTriage red-flags patients with the most critical symptoms and triages all patients into 5 priority categories so you know who is in your waiting room, what is wrong with them, and which patients you should see first.
Digital Triage:
Market-leading ‘structured’ patient history collection with built-in red-flag safety netting to ensure you collect all the information you need to triage your patients to the right place and pick up clinically urgent patients immediately.
