“…Recent work on other computerized triage assessment tools has been reported in abstract form only, promising both reliability and validity. 22 From a quality-improvement perspective, an electronic triage tool will allow monitoring of CTAS guidelines and facilitate changes and their dissemination. All sites can be updated simultaneously, maintaining standardization.…”

“…12 Maningas et al demonstrated excellent reliability for independent users of the Soterion Rapid Triage System, a complaint-driven, algorithm-based computerized triage system. 31 While there may be many other electronic triage systems available, they have yet to be evaluated and their ability to provide electronic decision support is limited. Currently, clinical applications of all major nationally recognized triage systems, including CTAS, the Australasian Triage Scale, 32 the Emergency Severity Index in the United States, 17,26 and the Manchester Triage Scale in the United Kingdom, 33 are based on training, memory, and experience.…”

Objectives: Emergency department (ED) triage prioritizes patients based on urgency of care. This study compared agreement between two blinded, independent users of a Web-based triage tool (eTRIAGE) and examined the effects of ED crowding on triage reliability.Methods: Consecutive patients presenting to a large, urban, tertiary care ED were assessed by the duty triage nurse and an independent study nurse, both using eTRIAGE. Triage score distribution and agreement are reported. The study nurse collected data on ED activity, and agreement during different levels of ED crowding is reported. Two methods of interrater agreement were used: the linear-weighted k and quadratic-weighted k.Results: A total of 575 patients were assessed over nine weeks, and complete data were available for 569 patients (99.0%). Agreement between the two nurses was moderate if using linear k (weighted k = 0.52; 95% confidence interval = 0.46 to 0.57) and good if using quadratic k (weighted k = 0.66; 95% confidence interval = 0.60 to 0.71). ED overcrowding data were available for 353 patients (62.0%). Agreement did not significantly differ with respect to periods of ambulance diversion, number of admitted inpatients occupying stretchers, number of patients in the waiting room, number of patients registered in two hours, or nurse perception of busyness. Conclusions:This study demonstrated different agreement depending on the method used to calculate interrater reliability. Using the standard methods, it found good agreement between two independent users of a computerized triage tool. The level of agreement was not affected by various measures of ED crowding.ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2006; 13:269-275 ª
