Thank you for the responses. Let me add an additional question.
About 30-40% of the patients with type and screens are discharged home from the ED. Since there is really no diagnostic value to a TS, is this overuse?
Some of those come to us as "trauma" and end up not being as bad as expected, so I get those. That still leaves about 25% being discharged to home. The others have an registration diagnosis of things like: altered mental status, abd pain, shaky/dizzy, shoulder pain, ETOH, N/V/D, etc..
