“…As Goodacre, Gillet, Harris, et al (1999) identified, when they performed a retrospective audit of nursing triage decisions using the NTS, there was only fair to moderate consistency between physician reviewers auditing triage decisions. Equally, as Brillman, Doezema, Tanberg, et al (1996) states, verifiable gold standards for triage do not exist. Therefore the consensus of expert opinion by the research team is the only available option for deriving what is believed to be the appropriate triage score for that patient based on the triage information available.…”

“…Unfortunately, existing ED triage methods are flawed, particularly for identification of nonurgent patients who may be referred for care elsewhere. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Because of limitations in existing triage processes, we developed and validated a five-level triage instrument, based on an expanded conceptual model: ''not only when should this patient be seen, but also what does this patient need?'' Our objectives were twofold: 1) to validate the triage instrument against ED patients' clinical resource and hospitalization needs, and 2) to measure the interrater reliability (reproducibility) of the instrument.…”

“…In most cases, the triage nurse must rely upon general guidelines to assess urgency and prioritize care, and many triage decisions are based primarily on the nurse's own clinical experience. While the validity of the general triage process has recently been studied, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] little is known about the ED triage of HIV-infected patients.…”
