Severity Index (ESI) The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a five-level triage scale developed by ED physicians Richard Wuerz and David Eitel in the United States (Gilboy et al., 1999; Wuerz, Milne, Eitel, Travers & Gilboy, 2000). The two originators believed that a principal role for an emergency department triage instrument
ESI-2 and 3 patients, who represent the majority of patients at large academic hospitals (e.g., about 80% at the University of Michigan ED (UMED)), are served in the main area of the ED with priority given to ESI-2 patients. Since the ESI system does not di erentiate between patients in the ESI-2 and ESI-3 categories in terms of complexity, patients in the main ED are still sorted and prioritized purely on the basis of urgency. Hence, the. ESI system does not respond to the second purpose of triage for the majority of the patients.
