Task-based modelling of the triage domain knowledge

Triage is a decision-making process that classifies incoming patients for presentational urgency in Emergency Departments (EDs). There are issues with triage reliability in EDs, which we can be resolved through uniform application of a robust triage scale. However, the complex robust triaging knowle...

Domain knowledge modelling Knowledge engineering Triage assessment Triage is a decision-making process that classifies incoming patients for presentational urgency in Emergency Departments (EDs). There are issues with triage reliability in EDs, which we can be resolved through uniform application of a robust triage scale. However, the complex robust triaging knowledge is not easy to understand or recalled for timely decision-making.
