How Emergency Department Patient Triage Works
Savience systems connect, involve and engage. Reduced queues means less stress for patients and staff. The self-service kiosk is confidential, and provides the patient with clear instructions. Its easy-to-follow graphics allow the patient to answer questions configured by clinical teams to discover pain level, symptoms, and time in pain.
Staff can immediately review how urgently medical care is needed and record the patient’s visit. Triage can be completed quickly and efficiently on arrival, when the patient is given clear directions to the right waiting area.
Staff can see how many patients are waiting, and patients can see when they will be called for treatment.
