This article describes the triage assessment system (TAS) for crisis intervention. The TAS assesses affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions of individuals to crisis events.
Triage originates from the French word trier, which is used to describe the processes of sorting and organization. Triage is utilized in the healthcare community to categorize patients based on the severity of their injuries and, by extension, the order in which multiple patients require care and monitoring.
November 2022) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Mental health triage is a clinical function conducted at the point of entry to health services that aims to assess and classify the urgency and priority of action of mental health related problems.
Triage is a system by which GPs use information provided by a patient in their online form, in conjunction with their medical records to make a decision on how urgently that patient needs to be seen and who is best placed to fully assess and manage their problem.
This form adds a severity scale to each domain that allows crisis workers to rate the severity of clients reactions in each domain. Reactions are rated on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 the most severe reaction. A rule out process is the most efficient strategy to determine the severity of each reaction.
