The algorithms are rooted in the Manchester Triage System (MTS), which is used in hospitals around the world and which is acknowledged as an effective means of clinical prioritisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis telephone iteration of a triage system which prioritises millions of patients each year provides a robust, safe, evidence-based system for managing the clinical risk in patients who are at a distance from health care providers. The basic principles that drive the MTS remain, but this book addresses the specific difficulties of assessment by telephone. The possible triage outcomes are \"face-to-face now\", \"face-to-face soon\" and \"face-to-face later\" together with a self-care option. Information and advice is suggested at every level. The advice ranges from life-saving interventions, which can be carried out until health care arrives, to self-care instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmergency Triage: Telephone Triage and Advice\u003c\/i\u003e provides all the necessary information that telephone triage staff must have to hand as well as including examples of questions to be asked. It will be a valuable resource for staff working in emergency departments, health centres and telephone triage organisations. Furthermore hospitals that are already using \u003ci\u003eEmergency Triage\u003c\/i\u003e will benefit from being linked with a telephone triage system that follows the same protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120035479792,"sku":"9781118369425","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118369425_p0.jpg?v=1763693904","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118369425","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
