Documentation of experience objectives
Triage prioritizes incoming patients in the emergency department to identify those who require immediate attention and those who can wait. The objective is to put a particular patient in the right place at the right time. Triage also ensures that the patient is receiving the right level of care and resources required. ESI’s five-level triage scale hopes to make the experience more reliable and valid.
Evaluation of the experience
Nurse triage is not a challenging affair with a set process of classifying and assigning a patient to the emergency department. The stages involved include the collection of a patient’s data, assigning the patient to a certain department, and initiation of nursing care at the emergency department. ESI, in this case does not only determine which patient would be seen first but also the resources necessary to move the patient to admission, transfer, or discharge.

Personal feelings and attitudes regarding the experience
It is crucial to have capable and experienced nurses in order to make the right triage. For those with little experience, they should feel free to ask questions. ESI also makes it considerably less challenging for nurses to make the right decisions so as to have patients receiving the attention suitable to them.
Goal achievements or identified obstacles to goal achievement
ESI five-level triage scale is considerably easy to use and it reduces the subjectivity of a decision. It speeds up the identification process of a patient requiring immediate attention. The main challenges are met when the nurses are dealing with vulnerable, old, pediatric, and patients with trauma. There is also a worsening crisis in the crowding that occurs in many emergency departments.
