Guidelines for Efficient Patient Triage in a Cruise Ship Medical Infirmary
September 2023
This paper presents a decision tree model tailored for the unique healthcare environment on cruise ships, aiming to streamline patient triage in a ship's medical infirmary. The model supports decision-making for phone operators, assisting them to differentiate between administrative and medical concerns, and further to classify these medical concerns based on the patient's status as an adult, paediatric, or elderly patient. A key feature is its ability to determine the most appropriate mode of consultation, whether teleconsultation or face-to-face with the onboard ship's doctor.
