Summary

The primary objective of this study is aimed at analyzing the ICU triage practices of clinicians at a cancer hospital with and without the use of an algorithm-based triage tool, and to assess whether or not the triage tool improves the consensus amongst practioners on the prioritization of patients for ICU admission. Secondary objectives include assessment of whether or not triage practices based on guidelines correlate with what is done in actual practice.

Survey

Survey of 15 fictional patient case scenarios to be assessed by participant using the standard prioritization or modified SCCMP to prioritize each patient scenario into one of a 5-point likert-scale categories for ICU admission. SCCMP scale categorized as 1-Critically ill to 4-Less likely to require ICU.
