Abstract

It is difficult to predict the end of Covid-19 pandemic. The emergency department (ED) as the main access for health services in the hospital has the highest risk of infection and overwhelmed by surge of patients. Modification of the emergency service system by implementing a pre-triage system can be a solution to dealing with surge of patients. The results of the preliminary study succeeded in forming a pre-triage system model. The pre-triage system model was carried out by identifying patients with the risk of Covid-19 in ED and modification of the emergency service flow. The implementation of the pre-triage system requires the readiness of the emergency department’s team. The sample used was all staff of emergency department of X Hospital which total 30. The results showed that 23,3% of respondents had good category knowledge, 56,67 % respondents had sufficient category knowledge, and 20% had less knowledge. The level of readiness found that 90% of respondents are ready for implementation of the pre-triage system. The Chi-Square test result show that the level of knowledge of the pre-triage system is not related to readiness to implement the pre-triage system.

Abstract

The Emergency Department (ED), as the main entrance of health service access in hospitals, faces the highest infection risk and high service load due to the increasing number of patients during the Covid-19 pandemic. Implementing a pre-triage system offers a solution to deal with a surge in the number of patients who demand staff preparedness. This study aimed to determine the knowledge level on the pre-triage system and its relationship with the preparedness of emergency room staff in implementing the pre-triage system. The study was conducted with a cross-sectional approach in a private type C hospital in Malang District on all 30 ER staff as respondents. The research instrument used were questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive analysis and the Fisher exact test. The results show that although 76.7% of respondents have insufficient knowledge, 86.7% of respondents are ready to implement the pre-triage system. The test results prove that there is no relationship between the knowledge and the preparedness levels of the emergency room staff in implementing the pre-triage system.
