Abstract
This paper presents findings from a modified Macroergonomic Analysis and Design (MEAD) study aiming to identify system components and risks in a telephone triage system. Themes identified included: ‘accessibility and availability’; ‘risks on the part of the telephone triage professional’; ‘risks posed by callers’; and ‘barriers to safety incidents’.
