Abstract

In the current issue of the Journal of Emergency Nursing, Linton et al1 report on their successful implementation of a clinical support tool (a banner to recommend emergency severity index [ESI] triage level 2) to improve the care of sickle cell disease (SCD) for individuals presenting to the emergency department with severe pain referred to as vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC). The researchers and clinical team are to be commended. The correct assignment of a high priority triage level is evidence-based and important to facilitate rapid placement in a treatment area to expedite pain management.
