Insights into Triage in Healthcare
Triage is a systematic and standardized approach to assessing patients' needs, sickness levels, and priorities. It involves critical steps such as screening for infectious diseases, interviewing the patient, making objective assessments, and decision-making. It is crucial in prioritizing patient care based on levels of urgency. Remember, overtriage is better than undertriage, and always ask for help when needed.
