CTAS Module
Pre-CTAS Modules

CTAS is a tool that enables Emergency Departments to:

Prioritize patient care requirements
Examine patient care processes, workload, and resource requirements relative to case mix and community needs
The triage level assigned using the CTAS criteria is a mandatory data element to be used in all Canadian Hospital Emergency Departments for reporting to the Canadian Institute for Health Information

CTAS allows ED nurses and physicians to:

Triage patients according the type and severity of their presenting signs and symptoms
Prioritizes patients when emergency department capacity has been exceeded
Ensure that a patient’s need for care is reassessed while in the Emergency department

CTAS allows ED managers to:

Measure the case mix (volume and acuity) of patients who visit the ED
Determine whether the ED has an operational plan and the resources to meet patient needs
Assess the ED’s role within the hospital and health care region
For more information on CTAS, contact us CTAS – NENA.
