About the Forum

Triage is the first critical point of contact for patients in the emergency department. Join us for a collaborative and engaging conversation discussing the state of health care, a triage best practice didactic with real-world applications, and a medico-legal panel discussion that will give you a fresh, energized evidence and case-based toolkit to reinvigorate your personal practice approach to triage no matter the state of your emergency department.
