Abstract
The authors present a manuscript describing the implementation of a triage system at the Emergency Department for Children at the Motol University Hospital. In the background, they summarize the matter of paediatric triage based on systematic literature search.
In the practical part of the manuscript, they present the chosen triage system and its implementation procedures and conditions. In April 2019 after reconstruction and reorganization, which included relocation of an outpatient clinic to the proximity of the Emergency Department, a new three-degree triage system was implemented.
The authors show the importance of these changes for patient safety and quality of medical care provision using statistical data on department operations and a few case reports.
