Who Needs Triage Emergency Training?
According to the World Health Organization, all medical staff that care for patients should be trained to provide emergency triage training. This includes first aiders, paramedics, nurses and doctors. Nonmedical staff of hospitals and clinics like janitors, clerks and guards should also be trained in triage to identify emergency signs in patients that arrive at the medical center. Hospitals often employ a triage nurse or doctor who is trained to manage the flow of patients by applying triage principles: fast-tracking emergency cases and asking non-urgent patients to wait. Training Various organizations provide emergency triage training for medical professionals and first aiders. Some of these courses, like the Emergency Nursing Triage course from the Emergency Nurses Association, can be taken online. The American Red Cross also provides a variety of courses that include triage techniques for different settings. Contact your closest hospital or fire department for details on triage cour
