The triage nurses&nbsp;used the NTS in their assessment of urgency. An expert panel determined in advance the most&nbsp;appropriate urgency of each case. This expert opinion formed the reference standard in the&nbsp;study. The investigators compared the urgency assessment of the NTS triage nurses with the&nbsp;reference standard. They also compared the urgency assessments between the triage nurses.&nbsp;A total of 4182 assessments took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Determination of urgency<br>The study showed a sensitivity of 95%:<br>Highly urgent cases were therefore also assessed as high urgent in 95% of the cases. The specificity was 83%. This means that 17% of the truly low-urgency cases were assessed as high-urgency. The sensitivity of the NTS is high, but the specificity seems to be improved. The reliability of the inter-raters for all triage nurses together and for each chain partner separately was good. Triage nurses perform triage with the NTS in a similar way, with almost all of them arriving at the same urgency. Finally, the results turned out to be very similar between the three chain partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opportunities for more collaboration<br>This comprehensive study shows that the NTS is a reliable and valid standard for the triage&nbsp;of adults throughout the emergency care chain. The agreement in urgency assessment of the&nbsp;HAP, MKA and A&#038;E triage nurses is promising and provides opportunities for increasing cooperation&nbsp;and personnel exchange in combined emergency rooms. Follow-up research in practice is needed&nbsp;to be able to make statements about the safety and effectiveness of triage of actual patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: newsletter Radboudumc \u2013 April 2021 Research institute IQ healthcare (Radboudumc) from Nijmegen has conducted a scientific study on behalf of the NTS Foundation into the validity and reliability of the Dutch&nbsp;Triage Standard (NTS) in adults.
