The Emergency Severity Index ® (ESI) is a tool for use in emergency department (ED) triage. The ESI algorithm yields rapid, reproducible, and clinically relevant stratification of patients into five groups, from level 1 (most urgent) to level 5 (least urgent). The ESI provides a method for categorizing ED patients by acuity with consideration of

The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a five-level emergency department triage algorithm, initially developed in 1998 by emergency physicians Richard Wurez and David Eitel. [1] It was previously maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) but is currently maintained by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA).

Accurate emergency department (ED) triage is essential to prioritize the most critically ill patients and distribute resources appropriately. The most used triage system in the US is the Emergency Severity Index (ESI). To derive and validate an algorithm to assess the rate of mistriage and to identify characteristics associated with mistriage.

Triage providers assess the chief complaint and immediate needs, obtain vital signs, and then assign an ESI score of 1 to 5 as follows:

2007年2月14日 · The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a 5-level triage acuity rating system that was developed by a group of emergency physicians and nurses in the late 1990s. 1 Many emergency departments in the both the United States and Europe have adopted the ESI for emergency department triage.

We sought to determine accuracy, inter-rater reliability, and subjective confidence of triage nurses at four hospitals to determine an ESI from standardized ESI scenarios. Triage nurses assigned an ESI score to each of 30 standard ESI (ESI Implementation Handbook Version 4) translated teaching case scenarios.
