All patient visits to the ED. HAPT is inspired by the Swedish Adaptive Process Triage model, ADAPT , and has subsequently evolved into the 'Danish Emergency Process Triage' , which is currently under implementation at several hospitals across the country. Four medium-sized EDs from different regions across the country cooperated in a joint venture to develop a new triage model, Danish Emergency. g. A version of RETTS©, called Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System – Hospital Unit West (RETTS-HEV) has also been applied and studied [21, 22].

Most ED’s use a slightly modified ver-sion of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11–14]. the Swedish Adaptive Process Triage model, ADAPT [11], and has subsequently evolved into the‘Danish Emergency Process Triage’ [12], which is currently under implementation at several hospitals across the country. The aim of this study was to validate and compare two 5-level triage systems used in Danish emergency departments: “Danish Emergency Process Triage” (DEPT) based on a combination of vital signs and presenting symptoms and a locally adapted version of. DEPT - Depth. . About. b The severity score is made according to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) criteria used for patients with acute illness.
