Abstract

Deploying a Triage Model in an Emergency Department is an area of active development in applied machine learning, with
evidence that has accumulated unevenly across its component questions. We review the current evidence base for deploying a
triage model in an emergency department, spanning methodological, implementation, governance, and cost dimensions, focusing
on where practice has converged and where it continues to vary, and set out the practical considerations relevant to a team
considering its adoption. We conclude that selective, context-specific use is best supported by the evidence currently available,
rather than uniform adoption or avoidance
