Abstract
An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a system that uses simple standardized patient information routinely collected at triage to distribute patients amongst triage levels based on critical and time-sensitive outcomes. The present invention estimates the probability of electronic medical record (EMR) recorded events for patients at triage. Predictions are made for patients based upon clinical information routinely collected at triage which include demographics (age and gender), vital signs (temperature, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation), complaint(s), medical/surgical history, chronic conditions, and mode of arrival. Vital signs are categorized as normal or gradations of abnormal.
