Abstract Triage is a method for determining the priority of patients’ treatment to improve survival rates. Different triage methods are used in hospitals, and they are applied after performing an evaluation based on standard methods such as the Japan Triage Acuity Scale (JTAS) or Emergency Severity Index (ESI). It is important to consider the characteristics of all the hospitals when assigning triage methods and emergency levels to them; the hospital managers make these decisions. We propose a multi-agent simulation method to support the hospital managers in employing the triage protocols according to their environment. We developed More >
