triage Level I triage Level II triage Level III triage Level IV

Other: Four-level Chinese Emergency triage scale

Interventions

Four-level Chinese Emergency triage scaleOTHER

a four-level category system, i.e. life-threatening (Level I), emergent (Level II), urgent (Level III) and semi-urgent (Level IV) . This system contains critical indicators (cardiac arrest, shock, and apnea), high risk indicators (ACS and DKA), single objective indicators (SBP, RR, HR, and SpO2) and MEWS (synthesis indicator). According to patients' health care problems, patients are rated by nurses into one of the four mentioned levels.
