Introduction: Triage, widely used by the military and emergency departments, has not been reported in community palliative care services. Policy designed to improve equitable provision of this care has led to the development of a triage tool.
Methods: Retrospective data were collected (50 percent of referrals, n = 204) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to determine the accuracy of the tool in predicting patient status at the first visit.
