Brief Summary

It is intended to show that a computer software called Trauma Decision System (TravmaDS) for the determination of the urgency of trauma patients who applied to Emergency Medical Clinic gives more accurate, more objective, faster results than the triage scored by medical and non-medical personnel and to show the fact that TraumaDS provides more patient satisfaction.

Conditions

Trauma; Triage

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Difference between software triage time and traditional triage time

  Investigation difference of triages made by software and normal triage

  5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• 30-day mortality

  30 days

Study Arms (2)

Normal Triage

Triage scoring determined by the Ministry of Health (SB ), routinely performed by an emergency medical technician (att), will be applied when the patients are admitted to emergency services. According to this scoring, patients who need urgent care and who should not wait less than 15 minutes will be considered red coded, patients who can wait up to 60 minutes will be considered yellow coded, patients who can wait for 120 minutes or more will be considered green coded.

Software Triage

triage maintenance / evaluation will be done with computer software called "Trauma Decision System (TraumaDS)" developed by us. As a result of the software program's direction, patients will be coded as green-yellow-orange-red area and patient care will be made in accordance with these codes. According to this scoring, patients who need urgent care and who should not wait will be considered red code, patients who should wait less than 15 minutes will be considered orange coded, patients who can wait up to 60 minutes will be considered yellow coded, patients who can wait for 120 minutes or more will be considered green coded.

Other: Trauma Decision System

Interventions

Trauma Decision System OTHER

At the time of application, color codes indicating the urgency of the patients will be given according to the demographic data of the patients, the type of trauma and the vital signs were directed by the software program. As a result of the software program's direction, patients will be coded as green-yellow-orange-red area and patient care will be made in accordance with these codes.
