Abstract

The triage system is meant to be implemented in all (Accidental & Emergency Departments) so as to help and determine the relative priority of individual patient needs. Emergency patients are to be given immediate treatment, while those with non-acute symptoms may have to wait longer (Lucke et al., 2021). Assessment process during the triage need to be balanced with the extent of patient flow, as expanding the assessment process during triage may slow down the patient flow and may lead to delay in emergency service provision (Lucke et al., 2021).Through the use of computer-generated reports, archival data records for two months from the ED of the Bahria International Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan to assess the effectiveness of patients triage flow model. The results of this quantitative study showed that the patient flow model had a considerable temporal effect. Including 16 females, 25 were male and 25% average waiting was more than 240 mints. The ability to decrease patient wait times while enhancing patients quality of care and health outcomes is one of the social change implications. A quantitative study would produce data that would assist medical staff by shortening the wait times for patients.

曼彻斯特分诊流程模式对巴基斯坦拉合尔巴赫瑞亚国际医院患者候诊时间的影响

分诊系统将在所有（事故和急诊科）实施，以帮助和确定病人需求的相对优先级。急诊病人应立即得到治疗，而有非急性症状的病人可能需要等待更长时间（Lucke 等人，2021 年）。分诊过程中的评估流程需要与患者流动程度保持平衡，因为在分诊过程中扩大评估流程可能会减缓患者流动速度，并可能导致急诊服务延迟（Lucke 等人，2021 年）。通过使用计算机生成的报告、巴基斯坦拉合尔巴赫瑞亚国际医院急诊室两个月的档案数据记录来评估患者分诊流程模型的有效性。这项定量研究的结果表明，患者分流模式具有相当大的时间效应。包括 16 名女性和 25 名男性在内，25% 的患者平均等待时间超过 240 分钟。在提高病人护理质量和健康结果的同时，减少病人等待时间的能力是社会变革的意义之一。定量研究将产生有助于医务人员缩短病人等待时间的数据。

期刊介绍： Cardiometry is an open access biannual electronic journal founded in 2012. It refers to medicine, particularly to cardiology, as well as oncocardiology and allied science of biophysics and medical equipment engineering. We publish mainly high quality original articles, reports, case reports, reviews and lectures in the field of the theory of cardiovascular system functioning, principles of cardiometry, its diagnostic methods, cardiovascular system therapy from the aspect of cardiometry, system and particular approaches to maintaining health, engineering peculiarities in cardiometry developing. The interdisciplinary areas of the journal are: hemodynamics, biophysics, biochemistry, metrology. The target audience of our Journal covers healthcare providers including cardiologists and general practitioners, bioengineers, biophysics, medical equipment, especially cardiology diagnostics device, developers, educators, nurses, healthcare decision-makers, people with cardiovascular diseases, cardiology and engineering universities and schools, state and private clinics. Cardiometry is aimed to provide a wide forum for exchange of information and public discussion on above scientific issues for the mentioned experts.
