摘要

Background Attempts have been made to improve the efficiency of in-patient acute care. A novel method has been the development of a a€?triage systema€? in which patients are assessed on admission to develop plans for discharge or transfer to an in-patient ward. Aims To compare a triage admission system with a traditional system. Method Length of stay and readmission data for all admissions in a 1-year period between the two systems were compared using the participating trusta€?s anonymised records. Results Despite reduced length of stay on the actual triage ward, the average length of stay was not reduced and the triage system did not lead to a greater number of readmissions. There was no significant difference in costs between the two systems. Conclusions Based on our findings we cannot conclude that the triage system reduced length of stay, but we can conclude that it does not increase the number of readmissions as some have feared.
