ASSESSMENT AND TRIAGE 


The HZU team performs a brief, focused assessment and assigns the patient triage-level first aid to respond effectively. Assessment is a proxy measure of how long a patient can safely wait for HZU team first aid triage. The process of Emergency Severity Index (ESI).categorizing is based on the stability of the patient's vital functions.
