The current triage systems are somehow one-sized-fits it all in their design (Veenema,2007).He points out that the main problem with the existing triage methodologies is the fact that they are not tailored for all situations such as weapons victims but are just normal pediatric scenarios. This therefore means that some of the components of the various triage systems are most likely to fail under certain circumstances as a result of the disparity in the physiological baselines used in coining the various triage systems.Veenema then ponders if the solution tom these dilemmas are held in the coining and adoption of a universal triage system.
Questions
The research questions that are to be used as the basis of forming hypothesis for the research they are:
Hypothesis 1: Does the use a universal triage system lead to a general ease in the rate casualty handling in unprecedented cross-border clinical emergencies
Hypothesis 2: Does the universal triage system lead to better universal health care ?
Time table:
Proposal to be accomplished by the 2nd week.
Literature review to be finished by the end of the 3rd week.
Fieldwork to be executed by the end of the 5th week.
Analysis to be done by the end of the 6th week.
Presentation to be accomplished by end of the 7th week.
Final report to be done by the 8th wee
Research Methodology
Research design
The research is to be carried out by means of the "quick and dirty" method as postulated by (Hughes et al., 1994).This was on the basis of various field observations, conversations (formal ) and interviews. Some notes are to be taken in the process of recording the conversations .The interviews are to be carried out individually in special rooms in order to ascertain the privacy as well as confidentiality.
Data Collection
The data is to be collected by means of observatory recording as well as recording of the relevant information obtained in the few test of the universal triage system applications in emergency scenarios.
Data Analysis
The data is to be analyzed by means of appropriate statistical techniques
Ethical considerations
There are various ethical considerations to be considered while conducting this research. The main one is the confidentiality of the details obtained from the research findings.
Limitation...
This is because we are exploring a frontier which has not been widely explored.The other limitation is the lack of adequate time to conclusively execute the research

Emergency Room Efficiency Improving Emergency Department Flow by Using a Provider in Triage Emergency room triage plays an essential role in the speed and quality of the emergency room departments. Triage represents only one small part of the process that determines quality of patient care. Emergency rooms can be crowded. Busy times are often unpredictable, making it difficult to avoid bottlenecks in the system. This has an affect on the amount of
But let's look at this resolution in a bit more depth. Briefly, processes like full capacity protocols, bedside registration, bypassing triage, adding staff during increased volume, setting up a separate "line" for treating simple fractures, lacerations, etc., establishing turn-around-time (TAT) goals for procedures and patients, can go a long way to begin to cure the problem of overcrowding (ACEP, 2008, p. 10).

National Incident Management System Theoretical Analysis of National Incident Management System (NIMS) The Federal Government established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) under the Homeland Security Presidential Directive number 5 in February 2003. The Secretary of Homeland Security played an important role of developing and administering national incident management system. NIMS provide a reliable and consistent approach to responding to all forms of incidents irrespective of size and scope (Walsh 2012). The
Governmental healthcare centers concentrate on providing primary care to individuals and to control and manage the spread of infectious diseases and to manage natural disasters (Christian et al., 2008). However, in the public domain, health care differs from one country to another. This can be specifically applied in developed nations, where social, economic and political factors are most likely to influence public health policies and centers and their accessibility and
