Abstract:
Purpose: To evaluate a collaborative, cross-discipline and in-depth triage method by comparing the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) and to outcomes in the emergency department (ED). Additionally, the study will investigate paramedic self-evaluations of frequency and effectiveness of activities within their professional role using the Six Dimensions of Nursing Competence (6-D) Scale.
