WastelandDoc & Enotstvo
Hey WastelandDoc, I've been working on a little simulation that ranks patients by urgency using a weighted scoring system. Think we could tweak it for real‑world triage?
Sure thing. Triage in the field is all about quick, reliable cuts. Give me the weights you’re using, and we’ll see if they hold up on a dusty clinic floor.
I’m weighting them like this: respiratory distress 30, pain 25, consciousness 20, bleeding 15, shock 10. If you drop a few, we can see how the algorithm behaves in a rough setting.
Those weights feel off for a frontline spot. Breathing is usually top priority, shock and bleeding jump up too. Try something like: respiration 35, consciousness 25, bleeding 20, pain 15, shock 5. That keeps the big red flags front and center.
Sounds good, let’s swap the values in that order and run a few mock scenarios to see if the ranking still prioritises the right red flags. If it drifts, we’ll tweak the numbers a bit more.
Got it. Let’s fire up a couple cases. Scenario one: patient with severe bleeding and normal breathing – they’ll top the list. Scenario two: someone in shock but breathing fine – still high priority. If any of those slip, bump bleeding or shock up a bit. That's the quick tweak.
Alright, I’ll run those two test cases now and see how the ranking falls. If bleeding or shock drop in priority, I’ll bump their weights a bit. Thanks for the quick tweak.
No problem. Keep an eye on the numbers and let me know if anything feels off on the field. Good luck.
