Abstract

il triage è un processo organizzativo volto a ridistribuire i tempi di attesa d’accesso alle prestazioni sanitarie a favore di chi ha necessità d’interventi in emergenza e urgenza. La corretta attribuzione del codice di triage, anche in presenza di procedure e protocolli condivisi, non è priva di variabilità operatore dipendente. Per questi motivi, gli score con valenza predittiva di ospedalizzazione riescono a supportare le valutazioni del professionista in triage. Tra questi score inizia ad emergere il possibile utilizzo del Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS).
