Abstract
Healthcare has arguably been the sector most impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, leaving Emergency Department (ED) medical teams overworked and understaffed. An automated system for ED triage has been developed to help alleviate some of these pressures. Eight ED clinicians were interviewed to capture their views of the automated system. Insights were generated around where this system might add value and areas of challenge or concern. These findings will be used to refine the prototype for end-user testing and support the development of training material for clinicians.
