ABSTRACT

This research aims to develop a prehospital triage system which can be easily adopted on fields by 119 emergency medical technicians reflecting the status of patients, based on KTAS (Korean Triage and Acuity Scale). Among the components of a prehospital triage system found in the literature, the final set of the components has been selected through the verification of contents validity by a group of 10 experts (5 at hospital stage and 5 at prehospital stage) for each of the classification steps produced by a three experts group. The results found that the hospital-stage experts have different views from the prehospital-stage experts and S-CVI/AVs for the tool are 0.789 for adults and 0.83 for pediatrics. It has been also checked whether or not 8 of 27 items for adults and 4 of 20 items for pediatrics have been modified. This research contributes to develop the very first prehospital triage system in line with KTAS, which can be easily adopted and utilized by emergency medical technicians in Korea.
