TRIAGE URGENCY CRITERIA FOR PATIENTS ON THE HIGH SECURITY WAITING LIST.
— STAFF
Where DUNDRUM-2 is used to justify who gets a scarce high security bed first, this gives the reader concrete evidence that the scale discriminates prioritised from regular admissions but performs poorly on internal consistency outside its country of origin, so scores should be presented as one structured input rather than a validated urgency metric. It also documents that a third of non-prioritised patients on the waiting list were already urgent, which is the sort of systems finding that supports capacity and delay arguments.
