In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs , patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported, resulting in a patient receiving a higher triage priority than warranted or, alternatively, that a patient might be overlooked in the ED. An early warn-ing score and an alcohol-withdrawal score were likewise measured regularly in accordance with both local recommendations and the patient’s clinical con-dition. Different scales and algorithms are used in triage, so it is essential to clearly communicate the acuity categories assigned to patients. The Emergency Department (ED) at Hillerød Hospital uses a five-level triage system inspired by the Swedish ADAptiv Process Triage (ADAPT).
