The Emergency Department (ED) at Hillerød Hospital uses a five-level triage system inspired by the Swedish ADAptiv Process Triage (ADAPT). Patients are initially triaged by an experienced nurse using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system (DEPT) [14]. A framework for a medical emergency decision support system that addresses the challenges of pre-hospital emergency treatment through the use of the patient’s electronic health record (EHR) and artificial intelligence techniques during the decision making process is provided. DEPT is a five-step triage system that prioritizes patients according to the degree of life or truancy threat and thereby is indicative of how fast they are to be seen by a physician.
