Continuous integrated triage is an approach to triage in mass casualty situations. It is both efficient and sensitive to psychosocial and disaster behavioral health issues that effect the number of patients seeking care (''surge''), the manner in which a hospital or healthcare facility deals with that surge (''surge capacity''), and the overarching medical needs of the event. Continuous integrated triage combines three forms of triage with progressive specificity to most rapidly identify those patients in greatest need of care. It balances the needs of the individual patients against the available resources and the needs of other patients. Continuous integrated triage employs: * Group (Global) Triage (i.e. (M.A.S.S. Triage )) * Physiologic (Individual) Triage (i.e. S.T.A.R.T. or Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) * Hospital Triage (i.e. E.S.I. or (Emergency Severity Index )) However any Group, Individual and/or Hospital Triage system can be used at the appropriate level of evaluation. == History== Continuous Integrated Triage was developed by the Founding Chairperson, Maurice A. Ramirez, of the American Board of Disaster Medicine by applying the lessons learned at the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, Louisiana following the 2005 Hurricane Katrina to Mass Casualty Triage at hospitals and healthcare institutions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Continuous integrated triage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
