Evaluation of a Software for the Secondary Prioritization of Patients in the Pediatric Emergency Department

Optimum®'s purpose is to remove the mental load of prioritization from the Pediatric ED staff. The software first prioritizes the triage of new patients by the ED staff and the first evaluation of a new patient by the medical team. Optimum® then prioritizes blood sample collections and care (for nurses) and checks on imaging results, blood test results or an evaluation by a specialist (for physicians). Lastly, Optimum® prioritizes the final step in patient management by a senior physician, when appropriate.
