Abstract:Objective：To optimize the process of the triage in medical institution，balance the accuracy and efficiency of epidemic prevention，and to form a standardized process of the triage. Methods：Three different triage schemes were adopted according to different time（month），and the differences among the schemes were evaluated according to the proportion of patients triaged to fever clinic，retention rate，positive rate of test and examination，and referral rate between fever outpatient clinic and emergency department. Results：A total of 4，862 patients were admitted into the fever clinic through the emergency triage. The proportion of patients to fever clinic in Scheme 2 was significantly higher than that in Scheme 1 and Scheme 3，but the retention rate，positive rate of the test and examination was lower than that in scheme 1 and Scheme 3. The referral rate to emergency department was higher than that of scheme 1 and Scheme 3，and there was no difference between scheme 1 and scheme 3 in retention rate，positive rate of test and examination，and referral rate of to emergency department. Conclusions：Under the epidemic situation within the statistical time，the triage efficiency of scheme 2 was lower than that of the other two schemes，which increased the patients’visit time and workload of fever clinic.The three triage schemes are suitable for the prevention，control and diagnosis of different epidemic forms.
