Triage and Management of Patients in NSW Rural and Remote EDs where there are no On-Site Doctors
SummaryThe NSW Rural Critical Care Committee has developed these guidelines to improve triage practices, enhance patient care and improve clinical outcomes for patients presenting to rural and remote Emergency Departments (EDs). These guidelines give an account of the current clinical role and practices in rural and remote EDs and reflect recent developments in the use of triage tools and scales to safely and effectively prioritise patient care based on the degree of urgency. The guidelines include a number of recommendations in relation to the use of the "Australasian Triage Scale", the adoption of a standardised data collection system and the development of standardised local guidelines, policies and procedures to manage patients in rural and remote EDs.
