Green Zone Visits as a Potential Blind Spot in Triage
Öz
In this letter, we argue that green zone visits should not be viewed merely as a burden to be reduced but rather as a signal warranting a re-evaluation of triage practices and organization of the healthcare system. Such a perspective may facilitate a more balanced and comprehensive understanding of emergency department utilization.We hope this discussion contributes to more nuanced, evidence-based considerations of triage processes and health service planning in emergency medicine practice.
