Description
ISSUE - TRIAGE Tab Placement
- Current Behavior: In the OP/IP workflow, the Primary Survey tab appears before the Triage tab.
- Risk: This disrupts the logical clinical workflow. TRIAGE is the first step in patient assessment and must precede the PRIMARY SURVEY. Misplacement can cause confusion, incomplete documentation, and compliance gaps.
- The Triage tab must be placed immediately before the Primary Survey tab in the navigation sequence.
- Workflow order should reflect clinical practice:
- > * Triage (initial categorization, presenting problem, severity)
- > * Primary Survey (ABCDE rapid assessment)
- > * Secondary Survey (AMPLE detailed assessment)
IMAGE 1 - The Triage tab must be placed immediately before the Primary Survey tab in the navigation sequence.

LAYOUT post-edit:
HUMS requirement post presentation: Triage tab should be allocated before Primary Survey.
Encounter Summary → Triage tab → Primary Survey tab → Secondary Survey tab → and the following tabs in current layout.

Reason:
Triage decides who needs immediate care. Primary Survey decides what care is needed.
- It determines who gets assessed first based on urgency (Level 1–5 for adults and paediatrics).
- Once triage identifies the most urgent patient, the primary survey (ABCDE) is performed to detect and treat immediate threats to life.
- The survey is resource‑intensive and requires focused attention, so triage ensures those resources are directed to the right patient.
