Busy hospitals face significant challenges in efficiently triaging patients. Lengthy wait times. Misallocation of resources. Varying levels of care that don’t align with patient needs. Others and I see this frequently, and it’s frustrating. A central triage team may struggle with the complexity and nuances of patient presentations. This can lead to over-triage (patients unnecessarily placed in high-acuity settings) and under-triage (critical cases not getting immediate attention). If we had better triage protocols and AI-assisted systems, we could improve patient flow and resource allocation. We could even develop multidisciplinary triage teams to bring diverse expertise to the process. Maybe this is just a pet peeve of mine. And it’s a system problem—not a patient, staff, or physician problem. There needs to be a more robust way to triage. I’ll rant more about this problem and analyze it in tomorrow’s Inefficiency Insights newsletter.
