Summary: This study was undertaken to assess triage practices in Saint Vincent general hospital. Hopefully, the study can help our respondents to identify needs and improvement regarding the standard implementations in the emergency departments to give quality care to the patients. As emergency nurses, we care for every patient who presents to our care settings. Most emergency nurses would assert that access to health care is a basic human right. That being said, the way that patients access care is not always consistent with how we would recommend that they seek health care. When a patient is admitted to a hospital, the triage nurse assesses the patient's condition and determines where the patient's injury fits into the priority list. Sometimes that involves treating the patient directly, while other times patients may Triage process has now carried over to general hospital triaging trained senior nurse called the triage nurse to sieve out the sickest patients in the waiting room to be seen by the doctor or nurses first be referred to more staff for primary care. The goal is to simultaneously improve the rate of speed and accuracy at which debilitating conditions are diagnosed and prioritized. Faster, correct identification of the condition at hand (and the appropriate course of treatment it demands) allows for a more customized, right-timed response that is neither recklessly rushed nor dangerously delayed. At the top of the hospital's triage pyramid is a smaller, far more serious subset "severe trauma" ER patients. It's a group that often arrives by helicopter, and for whom life and death is usually measured in seconds, not minutes. Comprehensive triage, as defined in the ENA's standards of practice, is performed by an emergency nurse; components of standards I, comprehensive triage, follow the nursing process of assessment, analysis or plan, interventions/collaborative intervention, and evaluation. Before the start of the data gathering phase of the study, the researchers processed transmittal letters to persons concerned to allow us to gather information that are relevant to the study. Statistical treatments were being used to determine the triage and its implementation in the emergency room, and we found out that the extent of implementation is highly implemented by the ER staff nurses. Basing from the result of the said study the researchers formulated a proposed action plan to further strengthen the triage implementation in the emergency room.
