Emergency Triage Board
A live emergency department: patients arrive over time, each given a 5-level acuity, and the waiting room re-sorts so the most urgent — and the ones waiting past their target — rise to the top. Move people into open bays as capacity allows. Read it three ways: the triage nurse acting on the queue, the charge nurse watching targets, and the physician reading acuity. Every patient is fictional.
Why acuity, not arrival order
The hardest thing a busy waiting room teaches is that first-come is not the same as sickest-first — and a lower-acuity patient can quietly deteriorate while they wait. This board lets clinicians practise acuity-based prioritisation and see the cost of a breach, on fictional patients with zero personal data. It is a teaching model of flow and severity, not a live clinical record and not a substitute for a trained triage clinician at the door.
