dc.description.abstractThe South African Triage Scale (SATS) was first implemented as an emergency centre triage scale in the Western Cape Province in 2006. This thesis describes the performance characteristics of the SATS when used by different levels of health care workers in Emergency Centres in the province. It explores the most appropriate methods for reliability and validity appraisal and demonstrates good performance characteristics, including reliability and validity. The results chapter of the thesis is presented in the form of published or submitted papers. The thesis concludes that the SATS has good performance characteristics, which supports the feasibility of further implementation in similar settings. It is suggested that this emergency centre triage scale be endorsed and adopted at National Health care level.en_ZA
