Improving triage accuracy through a modified nurse-administered emergency department assessment of chest pain score on patients with chest pain at triage (EDACT): A prospective observational study.

Background: Chest pain triage in our emergency department (ED) prioritize patients for consultation based on unstructured nursing gestalt. The Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain Score (EDACS) identifies patients at low-risk for major adverse cardiac events and may provide standardization for chest pain triage in ED.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study, including adult patients with chief complaint of chest pain who were self-conveyed.
