Triage never was faster with the pSTaRT app. pSTaRT stands for pocket Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment. It incorporates the mSTaRT scheme as electronic questionnaire. After scanning the barcode of the PLS-bag or manually entering an identification, pSTaRT guides you thru the questionnaire. Thanks to the overview of treatment rooms, it's easy to keep the numbers in sight. The list of persons can be used in other programs after using the CSV export functionality of the app.
