2020, Internet InterventionsCitation Excerpt :Over-triage or the assignment of inaccurate urgency results in the patient being seen too quickly and delays wait times for other patients (Considine et al., 2004; Considine et al., 2000). In contrast, under-triage or the inaccurate assignment of lower levels of urgency leads to longer wait times for the patient (Considine et al., 2000). This raises safety concerns for under-triaged mental health patients with suicidal ideation or those at risk of self-harm (Clarke et al., 2006).
