The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is the most popular tool used to triage patients in the US and abroad. Evidence has shown that ESI has its limitations in correctly assigning acuity. To address this, AI can be incorporated into the triage process, ...
AIMS: Worsening heart failure (WHF) events occurring in non-inpatient settings are becoming increasingly recognized, with implications for prognostication. We evaluate the performance of a natural language processing (NLP)-based approach compared wit...
This column on translating research into practice is crafted to offer advanced practice registered nurses an analysis of current research topics that hold practical relevance for emergency care settings. The article titled "Using Artificial Intellige...
