Healthcare Process Pattern Analysis with Triage in the Emergency Department

Abstract

Emergency room process is very important in the whole hospital processes because it is first diagnosis for patient.Above all, triage is important activity which quickly diagnose the status of emergency patient and sets the priority for treatment. This paper analyzes the treatment process pattern by triage type. The results show that the treatment process after triage such as residence time, diagnosis and checkup type, and joint treatment are dependent on triage types. We can use these analysis results for improving the current triage system and developing the new triage system considering a domestic emergency medical service environment.

Hybrid Heuristic Using Hierarchical Decomposition and Optimization for the Nurse Rostering Problem

“…최근 헬스케어 분야에서는 경쟁력을 향상하기 위해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다 (Sim et al, 2012;Koo et al, 2012) (Dowsland 1998, Burke et al, 2001. 또한 Burke et al(1999), Dowsland and Thompson(2000), Valouxis and Housos(2000)은 이러한 방법론들을 결합해 새로운 모형을 제시하였다.…”

Educational Simulation Program Based on Korean Triage and Acuity Scale

“…According to National Emergency Medical Center statistics, emergency medical centers in Korea are being consistently used by more than 10 million people per year, with 10.343.983 visits in 2015 because of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak, 10.419.983 in 2014, and 10.186.341 in 2013 [1]. In addition, the use of emergency medical centers is rising due to an increase in the number of disasters and accidents; higher levels of service at emergency medical centers are being requested because of improvements in individuals' quality of life due to medical technology developments [2]. Moreover, during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) in Korea in 2020, the preparedness of emergency departments for triaging patients and ensuring the safety of staff has been of utmost importance [3].…”

The Development and Effect of a Simulation Education Program Based on the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (KTAS)

“…According to the emergency medical center statistics, emergency medical centers are being consistently used by more than 10 million people per year, except in 2015 with 10,343,983 due to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak, at 10,419,983 in 2014 and 10,186,341 in 2013 [1]. In addition, the use of emergency medical centers is increasing due to an increase in the number of disasters and accidents, and higher levels of service at emergency medical centers are being requested due to the improvements in the "quality of life" of people following medical technology development [2].…”
