In a pilot project sponsored by the California State Emergency Medical Services Authority, validated, verifiable criteria were developed for the vertical categorization of hospital emergency services in 11 different groupings of medical and surgical emergencies. We describe the development of an assessment process and categorization criteria to identify the most appropriate receiving facility for interfacility transfer and, in selected instances, field triage of patients with different levels of severity of illness or injury. We propose that this facility assessment project be used in the critical care planning process for the eventual vertical categorization of hospital emergency services in California and as a template for similar projects in other states.
在加利福尼亚州紧急医疗服务管理局赞助的一个试点项目中,针对11种不同的内科和外科紧急情况分组,制定了用于医院急诊服务垂直分类的经过验证且可核查的标准。我们描述了一种评估流程和分类标准的制定过程,以确定最适合进行机构间转运的接收机构,并在某些情况下,对不同病情或伤势严重程度的患者进行现场分诊。我们建议将这个机构评估项目用于加利福尼亚州医院急诊服务最终垂直分类的重症护理规划过程,并作为其他州类似项目的模板。
