About this study
Official title: Effects of Implementation of Automated Pre-triage Based on a Self-measurement Kiosk With Questionnaire for Patients in the Emergency Department Waiting Room on Triage Time-stamps and Satisfaction of Use
In this study the participant will be invited to be seated in the self-measurement kiosk after registration in the Emergency department. In this kiosk, the participant will be measuring their own vitals and answering a short questionnaire regarding the reason for presentation. All these results are displayed on a screen for the triage nurse. Based on the results, high-risk patients will be highlighted on the screen, so they may be seen faster.
Read the detailed description
The questionnaire entails questions which would otherwise be asked by the triage nurse, regarding reason for presentation, fever, pain and and possible allergies. This is done through a touch-screen.
The vital signs and potential alarm symptoms from the (multilingual) questionnaire are being displayed with the pain score on a screen in the triage room and at the nurses desk. An adapted Early Warning Score (aEWS - without respiratory rate) is calculated from the vital signs. Abnormal results are being highlighted and carried up on the screen to the top position. This enables the triage nurse to pick up the sicker participants in the waiting room faster. The measurements are valid, so they do not have to be repeated by the triage nurse.
Users will be contacted afterwards regarding satisfaction of use
