Clinic and hospital
Triage and vitals
On Clinic โ Nurse the patients not yet triaged come first. Open one, measure them, write why they came and how urgent it is: Emergency, Urgent or Routine.
- Vitals: temperature, pulse, breathing, blood pressure, oxygen, weight, height (BMI is worked out), blood sugar and pain. A reading a body cannot have is refused.
- What stands out (a fever, high or low blood pressure, low oxygen, low sugar) is marked amber or red. This is a pointer, not a diagnosis.
- The doctor's queue and the waiting room then run emergency first, urgent next, then the rest in the order they arrived.
