WORKSHOP THE DUTCH TRIAGE SYSTEM
In 2005 the initiative was taken by the ministry of health to develop a triagesystem for the entire emergency care in the Netherlands. From this pilot the Dutch triage standard (NTS) was formed. The NTS is a standard for triage in the chain of emergency care. Triage is the dynamic proces of determining urgency en folllow-up. Our standard is developed for the ER, GP’s after hours and ambulance dispatch centers.. The purpose is increasing safety and efficiency of the triage. The patient and his care needs are most important. In addition, improving the cooperation in the acute care chain is an important goal. In this presentation I will tell you all about NTS and show you how it works
