In an article published in Tunnel Management International in April, J.

Considering the characters of a specific emergency domain, we propose a text classification based on emergency domain words and machine learning technique taking a System Engineering view.
All EDs except one did not have triage-to-service (e.g., triage of patients to a specific emergency service, for example, medical vs. surgical team) (Figure 1). Figure 1 Snapshot of overall Emergency Department characteristics in Singapore.
Approximately 90%% had a contiguous layout with medical and surgical care provided in one area, with most (67 %) using triage to service (i.e., triage of patients to a specific emergency service, for example, medical vs surgical team).
In emergency care settings (e.g., treatment decision making about thrombolysis in acute stroke care) usability testing should be undertaken to establish the optimal mode, form and information content of tools for a specific emergency context to enable rapid use by clinicians and patients/carers.
The concise and specific layout of these documents make them reader-friendly and give a quick but comprehensive overview of our activities for a specific emergency.
None of the six facilities had a specific emergency plan.
