Abstract
—Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding is a major global issue of public health concerning patients’ safety and quality of care delivery, leading to increased mortality, increased costs due to prolonged in-hospital length of stay and readmissions The main goal of this paper is to present IntelTriage and its functional and non-functional requirements. IntelTriage is a smart triage system that automatically prioritizes ED’s patients, continuously monitors their vital signs and also tracks their location through a wearable device and intelligent clinical decision support system.
