Presence of Undertriage and Overtriage in Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment.
(Abstract only.) American Journal of Disaster Medicine. 12(3):147-154.
The authors assessed the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) protocol to understand whether emergency medical services personnel could use it to triage accurately. The authors found that emergency medical services were more likely to overtriage using START (“17.9 percent overtriaged by one category, and 5.4 percent overtriaged by two categories”) and surmised this may be due to factors not included in START.
