Episode Details

Daniel watched an urgent care tech work a triage screen — massive buttons, color coding, emoji condition indicators, and prompts like "order IV." That's not the EHR. It's a clinical decision support layer, and the biggest name in the space is Schmitt-Thompson, standardized triage protocols used by over a thousand organizations. This episode breaks down what's actually running: rule-based decision trees, Holliday-Segar dosage math, CPOE order routing, and where AI actually shows up — risk scores like Epic's Deterioration Index and Mednition's KATE, not the triage logic itself. Plus why the FDA and the liability question keep reasoning-based AI out of the decision tree, and what "looks good in a demo" misses about the messy tail of real triage encounters.
