Triage Specialist Course Comments

"The Triage Specialist Course was a wonderful complement to the 2-day course...taking triage concepts to new heights."

"The best course I have ever taken – I have been a nurse for 39 years, 30 of them in the ED. At last we have a course that teaches a methodical method for triage!"

"I have spent 30 of the last 32 years in emergency nursing. I've learned more from this course than any other course I've taken."

"It offers practical situations and solutions to our real life emergency departments."

"I feel it will positively impact our practice."

"The course was excellent, realistic and applicable."

Other Triage First Services
Triage First is a consulting and education firm that has spent the last decade providing comprehensive and innovative solutions for emergency departments across the nation.

Comprehensive ED Triage Education
Our education services are widely acclaimed, and we have seen evidence that if even one person in an ED has received our training, the culture of that ED can change.

Customer Service Education
Our very successful short program, "The Nature of the Beast," is perfect not only for ED staff invigoration and motivation, but also as a hospital-wide program, or as a keynote address for healthcare-related events.

Consulting
Our specialty as consultants is the ability to provide in-depth analyses of ED point-of-entry processes, patient throughput and ED output processes, clinical expertise, customer-service and personnel issues, as well as the physical plant and much more.

Implementation
Because most ED staff already have more on their plates than they can handle, Triage First offers a full ED CQI program
