Can AI do patient triage in the emergency department?

An expert breakdown of a typical process from public sources, worked out by the same rules as your own check.

0 of 8 steps go to an agent

Goes to an agent (0)

An agent does these steps on its own.

No steps here.

AI drafts, a person checks (3)

AI prepares the work; a person reviews and confirms it.

  1. Brief focused history: medical history, medications, allergies

    A person signs off: the law or a regulator holds someone accountable for it.

  2. Assign the ESI level and document it

    A person signs off: the law or a regulator holds someone accountable for it.

  3. Routing (bed, fast track, straight to resuscitation)

    A person signs off: the law or a regulator holds someone accountable for it.

Stays with people (5)

These steps need a person's judgement or presence.

  1. Decision A: is an immediate life-saving intervention needed

    Stays with people: it takes judgement that depends on your business context.

    • Judging risk or priority in a business context

  2. Decision B: a patient who cannot wait (high risk, confusion, severe pain)

    Stays with people: it takes judgement that depends on your business context.

    • Judging risk or priority in a business context

  3. Decision C: predict the number of resources needed

    Stays with people: it takes judgement that depends on your business context.

    • Judging risk or priority in a business context

  4. Decision D: vitals in the danger zone — upgrade the level

    Stays with people: it takes judgement that depends on your business context.

    • Judging risk or priority in a business context

  5. Reassess the waiting patients

    Stays with people: someone has to be there in person.

    • On-site sensory assessment of the condition of an object or a person
2 steps outside what AI can work on

Physical work, or nothing AI could apply itself to. These steps count in no figure.

  1. Meet the patient, initial visual assessment and chief complaint

    Stays with people: someone has to be there in person.

    • On-site sensory assessment of the condition of an object or a person

  2. Take the vital signs

    Stays with people: someone has to be there in person.

    • Instrumental reading of a value from an object
