Following implementation of the South African Triage Scale (SATS) system in the emergency department (ED) at the District Headquarter Hospital in Timergara, Pakistan, we 1) describe the implementation process, and 2) report on how accurately emergency staff used the system. Of the 370 triage forms evaluated, 320 (86%) were completed without errors, resulting in the correct triage priority being assigned. Fifty completed forms displayed errors, but only 16 (4%) resulted in an incorrect triage priority being assigned. This experience shows that the SATS can be implemented successfully and used accurately by nurses in an ED in Pakistan.
在巴基斯坦蒂默加拉地区总部医院的急诊科实施南非分诊量表(SATS)系统后,我们:1)描述实施过程;2)报告急诊工作人员使用该系统的准确程度。在评估的370份分诊表格中,320份(86%)填写无误,从而能正确分配分诊优先级。50份填写的表格存在错误,但只有16份(4%)导致分诊优先级分配错误。这一经验表明,SATS系统能够在巴基斯坦一家急诊科成功实施并被护士准确使用。
