For outpatient applications, a triage area must be organized at the enterance or outside the emergency service and the examination room should be located in a different area then the other departments of emercengy service. Patients brought by ambulance requiring resuscitation should be taken to the resuscitation area, patients not requiring resuscitation should be taken to the examination room and evaluated.
