In this study we will broadly characterize the potential safety and operational implications of under- and over-triage among adult and pediatric patients. We will conduct a sub-analysis specifically among patients with an emergency department diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock, for whom delays in care are associated with worse outcomes.
