The triage phase of an algorithm-based medical care system was analyzed in three military patient environments. Combat medics triaged 4,799 patients using a physician-prepared triage manual which specified levels of initial health care based on the patient's presenting complaints and a brief history. Evaluation indicated that 36% of those reporting for sick call were eligible for treatment by medically appropriate self-care protocols. Of the remaining 64%, all but 4% could receive initial evaluation by non-physician health care extenders. The study demonstrates that personnel receiving basic medical training and orientation to an algorithm-directed triage system can direct military patients to appropriate levels of health care.
在三种军事患者环境中分析了基于算法的医疗系统的分诊阶段。战斗医护人员使用医生编写的分诊手册对4799名患者进行了分诊，该手册根据患者的主诉和简要病史确定了初始医疗护理级别。评估表明，在那些前来就诊的患者中，36%符合通过适当的自我护理方案进行治疗的条件。在其余64%的患者中，除了4%之外，所有患者都可以由非医生医疗保健人员进行初步评估。该研究表明，接受过基本医疗培训并熟悉算法指导分诊系统的人员可以将军事患者引导至适当的医疗护理级别。
