Summary:
Triage Condition - White
What:
-
We are adding an additional patient triage condition: White
-
Triage Condition - White is intended to be used for personnel, bystanders, "Good Samaritans," or uninjured individuals present at the scene.
-
Individuals tagged with White require no medical assistance or transport.
-
White category will now appear alongside Red, Yellow, Green, and Black tags.
Why:
Adding a White triage category provides operational advantages for incident commanders and medical responders:
-
Streamlined patient filtering: easily separate uninjured individuals from patients requiring assessment, treatment, or transport.
-
Eliminates the need for a separate “non-patient” list to track participants.
-
This additional triage color prevents the "Green" category from becoming a catch-all for everyone on-site, so responders remain focused on those actually needing further assessment and care.
-
Incident commanders receive a real-time, accurate count of actual patients, ensuring resources (ambulances, medics, beds) are sent where they are truly needed.
-
Enables a "Zero Out" approach to incident management—achieving complete awareness and accounting of every single person present at the incident.
-
Speeds up the process of clearing the scene by identifying who can be released immediately versus who must remain under medical supervision.
How:
The Triage Condition - White will appear alongside the traditional colors across the entire Pulsara platform, including the same functionality on patient channels, the incident summary overview, roster import, and more.
