Triage Lazio

Lazio version.Developed entirely on the basis of the "Triage Intra Regional Manual - Lazio Model Hospital"."Triage Lazio" is an application aimed at the triage nurse, created with the aim of supporting the operator in every phase of the process for assigning the priority code.
It is a tool that facilitates the consultation of the protocols and in no way can or must influence the final decision which is exclusively up to the triagist.The triage decision is the final step in a process based on a myriad of factors, culminating in the assignment of the priority code.
During the various phases of the process (1.
Evaluation on the door; 2.
Subjective evaluation; 3.
Objective evaluation; 4.
Triage decision; 5.
Reevaluation) an infinite series of data are collected and processed which, added to the experience of the nurse and the resources made available by the operating unit, contribute to the assignment of a code, which expresses the risk of evolution of the main symptom.
It follows that this activity is a moment of maximum autonomy for the triage nurse and that no software and no algorithm can replace the operator.
It should be specified that, under no circumstance, this application can be used to settle disputes and controversies, regarding the attribution of the code."Triage Lazio" is only a valid tool for consulting the flow-charts and for comparing the vital parameters, especially useful in children, as the threshold beyond which the parameters are defined as dangerous varies considerably according to age, and remembering all the tables is practically impossible.Furthermore, it should be emphasized that this application also works off-line and in no part of it there is the possibility of introducing, voluntarily or involuntarily, ones personal data or those of the patient.
