Automating Triage: Identifying Gaps in Traditional Approaches and Proposing Solutions

In modern medical circumstances, effective assessment of patients' conditions is recognized as crucial for quick decision-making, especially in critical situations. In these circumstances, the application of automated triage systems and their role in improving health care are considered key elements, with special focus being placed on the integration of technologies that enable a more accurate and faster assessment of the patient's condition. Based on the above, the paper analyzed various traditional methods of patient triage, as well as the potential for e-triage. Special importance is attached to reducing subjectivity in decision-making and improving the efficiency of emergency services. Challenges and advantages of implementing automated triage systems in real conditions were also discussed, with the aim of achieving optimal results. Considering the factors, a one of possible framework was proposed for the future development of advanced triage systems, which contribute to the improvement of the quality of health care provision.
