1 Implementing a Five Level Triage in the Emergency Department Enhancing Safety and Satisfaction Poster Presenter: Eileen Gallagher MSN, RN, ACNS-BC, PCCN Title: Clinical Nurse Specialist
2 Objectives Discuss the implementation of a five level triage system that utilizes the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) triage algorithm and replacement of the current three level triage system. Explain the Role of Triage, and Responsibilities of the Triage Nurse. Evaluation of triage nurse satisfaction levels pre/post ESI system implementation Examine the Nursing Triage Survey Results. 2
3 Background and Significance Emergency Department(ED) overcrowding is a health care crisis nationwide. Treatment delays threaten patient safety & public health. Triage nurses report increased stress while considering safety and prioritizing patients. Overcrowded EDs increase need for a valid and reliable triage acuity system. Current studies question the reliability and validity of the three-level acuity rating scale used by the majority of the EDs in the United States. 3
4 Triage- Role and Responsibility Triage- derived from the French verb trier. To sort or choose. Originally used by the military to sort soldiers wounded in battle in order to establish priorities. Soldiers were sorted by severity of their injuries ranging from those that were severely injured and not salvageable, to those that can wait to be treated. ED s recognized the need to implement a method to sort patients and identify those needing immediate care, and those that could safely wait to be treated. 4
5 Methods ED nurses participated in a two hour educational introduction to the ESI system. Triage nurses participated in a pre & post-test measuring satisfaction prior to and three months following implementation of ESI. Implementation of ESI required the support of ED nursing leadership. Physicians and Physician Assistant were also provided with the education available to the triage nurses. 5
6 Emergency Severity Index Algorithm ESI Four Main Decision Points. -Decision Point A: Does the patient require immediate life saving intervention? -Decision Point B: Is this patient a high-risk? -Decision Point C: How many different resources will this patient consume? -Decision Point D: What are the patient s vital signs? 6
7 Emergency Severity Index Algorithm Patient Dying? yes 1 Shouldn t Wait? yes 2 How many Resources? None One Many consider 5 4 Vital Signs-Danger Zone 3 7
8 Research Findings: The Reliability of the ESI Triage System Inter-rater reliability with kappas ranging from 0.70 to 0.80 in study of triage nurses (N=200) rating 40 cases. Patient (N=386) triage decisions were evaluated and found to have high interrater reliability; kappas ranging from 0.69 to 0.87 in subsequent study. Third study measuring ESI patient triage (N=403) reliability found a kappa of
9 Benefits of Implementing the ESI Triage System Rapid identification of patients requiring immediate attention. Rapid identification of patients deemed high risk. Identification of patients appropriate for utilization of fast-track resources. Improvement in effective communication of patient acuity. 9
10 Educational Program Revision of triage policies and procedures completed by CNS- included in ESI training. Two hour educational sessions developed. Participation of all ED nurses in sessions. ED nursing leadership provided additional resources during training session. 10
11 Educational Program Practice cases encompassing 20 patient scenarios including a variety of age groups, diagnoses and triage levels. Competency testing consisted of 20 cases. Nurse must correctly triage 18 out of 20 cases to be deemed competent. Re-education is mandatory for any staff falling below the standard. 11
12 ESI Triage Evaluation Triage nurses will participate in a pre-test evaluating satisfaction with current triage system at least one week prior to implementation of ESI system. Triage nurses will participate in a post-test three months after implementation of ESI system. Nursing staff s competency of the ESI system will be tested annually. (Skills Fair) 12

22 In Conclusion Triage nurses in the ED feel the current five level triage system accurately identifies patient acuity. There is an improvement in the perception of safe care delivery to patients in the ED. There is an improvement in the feeling of confidence in triage acuity assignment by the nurses in the ED. 22
