Emergency department triage systems are intended to prioritize patients based on illness severity, but inappropriate triage can result in delays in care and adverse events. Conducted at a single emergency department (ED) in Italy, this study found that nurse-led triage errors occurred in 16.3% of patients and were associated with longer emergency department and hospital stays.
