A suggested emergency acuity for the triage nurse

Illustrative scenario. This is a composite for planning. It is not a report of a specific peer-reviewed trial.

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. As the triage nurse types the chief complaint and first vitals, a model suggests an acuity level. The nurse accepts or overrides it, and the accepted level is the one that enters the queue. The scenario is about keeping a human on the decision when under-triage would delay care. No accuracy percentage is claimed, because this entry is not a study.

Clinical setting

A hospital emergency department using a five-level acuity scale, with the suggestion visible only to the triage nurse.

Regulatory

Parallel notification of a suspected large-vessel occlusion

Viz.ai ContaCT analyzes brain CT angiography and can text a neurovascular specialist when it suspects a large-vessel occlusion, in parallel with the usual read. FDA permitted marketing in 2018 as notification software. The specialist still reviews full images on a diagnostic workstation. The product is not a diagnosis and not a treatment decision.

TREWS sepsis early warning on the inpatient ward

The Targeted Real-time Early Warning System (TREWS) watches the electronic record and asks a clinician to confirm or dismiss a possible sepsis alert. It was studied prospectively across five hospitals, not as a silent background score. The published association depends on a person acting on the alert within a few hours. It does not diagnose sepsis by itself.

Suppressing non-actionable alarms in the ICU

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. A unit feeds monitor alarms through a second layer that withholds repeats already explained by motion, a loose lead, or a value the nurse just acknowledged. The bedside alarm for a new life-threatening rhythm still sounds. The point of the scenario is the governance question: who is allowed to silence what, and how a missed true alarm would be reviewed.
