Results

Two nurses and one emergency physician participated. The total number of triaged cases analyzed was 75 before and 77 after the intervention. Overall inter-rater agreement between the emergency physician and nurse was kappa (95 % confidence interval) = 0.35 (0.23-0.46 Fair) pre-intervention and 0.66 (0.48-0.83 Substantial) post-intervention. All severity levels showed higher inter-rater agreement after the intervention. There was a significant reduction and large effect size for UT post-intervention.
