Article Synopsis
- Standardized triage systems have existed for years, but this study explores if nurses' clinical expertise can offer better outcomes in emergency situations.
- The research involved 77 nurses from four Italian emergency departments evaluating 30 simulated clinical cases and comparing triage codes assigned by the Manchester Triage System with those based on nurses' expertise.
- Results showed that nurses' clinical assessments predicted clinical outcomes more accurately, indicating a need to improve triage systems while still utilizing standardized methods for consistency.
