Evaluation of the Implementation of the South African Triage System at an Academic Hospital in Central Haiti

As Emergency Medicine continues to expand globally, it is increasingly important that hospitals adopt strategies to improve the quality and efficiency of emergency care. Triage, the process of sorting patients according to need so that the sickest patients receive priority treatment [1], has become a corner stone of emergency department (ED) quality and patient flow [2]. Triage allows for early recognition and treatment of critically ill patients, improves resource utilization and patient satisfaction, and decreases length of stay and admission rates [3].
