چکیده
Background Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) is a triage system developed in Sweden in 2006. It is currently used by four University hospitals in the region of Stockholm and several other hospitals in Sweden. It is introduced in several hospitals in Denmark. ADAPT is based on a trace and trigger tool for vital signs according to the ABCD-principle and a short systematic questionnaire for each chief complaint. The main objective is detection of the seriously ill, guidance of healthcare personnel for patient streaming and to be a communication tool. The triage system is based on lean-principles and modern ideas for patient streaming to very urgent care, urgent care, admitting of the elderly and to ‘see and treat’. Following ADAPT each patient are triaged as either red (life-threatening), orange (seriously ill), yellow (ill), green (need of assessment) or blue (fast-track). The aim of this study is to assess the validity of ADAPT as a triage system.
