How does RETTS work?

RETTS identifies patients’ medical risk level and supports the emergency care staff to prioritize them in “que to doctor”. This is represented in two algorithms – vital sign charts and a series of symptom cards – ranging from blue to red. This enables the examiner to make secure triage decisions in three simple steps…by combining vital signs (1) with symptoms (2) to her own clinical assessement (3).

Assess the patient’s vital signs

Input the patient’s vital signs and age. Make a note of the colour the patient’s condition matches.

Use the RETTS symptom cards

Search RETTS’ Emergency Signs and Symptoms (ESS) cards for the best match. Work from top to bottom (highest urgency to lowest) to get the second part of the risk assessment.

Medical risk level

Combine vital signs with ESS, choose the most acute level, and then add your clinical experience. The highest risk level gives the patient’s current priority/triage level. This ensures a more complete assessment of the patient, ensuring the right level of care for each patient.

Determine the best process actions

Use RETTS process module to checklists, bloodtests and “what to do actions” while the patient is waiting for the doctor

This enables…

Ambulance staff

to determine if the patient is critical or not, transportation priority, how to manage the patient and where to take them. So individuals get the right care, and you avoid overloading Emergency Departments.

ER staff

to determine which patients require more immediate treatment, how to monitor and treat patients, reduce stress and improve patient flows.

Primary healthcare staff

to provide the right level of care and whether patients should be sent to ER, ultimately reducing uncertainty and empowering nurses.
