  1. Process Defining Furniture Future of Triar Advancing Triage for the Future The future Triar will be interoperable with the hospital's EMR and admissions systems. It will be able to have continuous monitoring of the patient. Triar will be used as a universal chair for the emergency department allowing the patient to stay in the chair from triage through discharge. The Triage Chair Special Thanks to our Advisors: David Cowan, Director of HSI Jeremy Ackerman, MD, PhD Ellen Yi-Luen Do, PhD Marilyn Margolis, RN, MN Craig Zimring, PhD Marvina Williams, RN Brandon Thompson Becky Halcik Kapil Raj Nair Becky Halcik: becky.halcik@gatech.edu Kapil Raj Nair: kapilrajnair@gatech.edu Brandon Thompson: brandon.thompson@gatech.edu http://www.hsi.gatech.edu/erfuture/index.php/TRIAR:_The_Triage_Chair

  2. “Triage is a process, not a Place.” The One Stop Chair Portable Triage’s Problem Currently the triage space is not designed efficiently. The furniture and medical equipment required to perform triage are not integrated and take up too much space. The result is a lengthy triage process, inefficient workflow for nurses and inaccessible equipment. Sanitary • Blood Pressure • Weight • Temperature • Wheel Chair • Pulse • Blood Sample Tray • Oxygen • Stretcher • IV Stand Handy Vital Expedient Accessible Impact of the Problem The current triage problem does not allow nurses to focus on the patient. Instead, nurses spend more time operating equipment and entering data. The current layout of the triage space forces the patient to move around the room taking vitals, being weighed, measured, and tested. With the lack of integration of equipment it forces the triage room to be larger to accommodate all the processes. Practical Mobile Reclining • Design Principles • Furniture & equipment should be integrated with the process • Furniture should be easy to clean • Furniture should be ergonomic • Equipment should reduce Triage time • Furniture should be easily adaptable Triar’s Impact • Reduces Triage space • Maximizes flow • Integrates Triage equipment • Reduces foot print • Acuity Adaptable Nurse Path Patient Path Before After Reduced Space
