App overview and purpose
ATS Pro Triage is an iPhone educational and reference tool created to support emergency nursing triage work. The application offers more than 700 simulated adult and pediatric cases that follow the Australasian Triage Scale, and includes eight separate quizzes to help users evaluate and refine their judgment under pressure. It’s intended to strengthen clinical decision-making for nurses who already work in high-acuity triage roles.
Key features
- Eight built-in quiz modules for self-assessment and skill testing
- Over 700 simulated adult and child clinical scenarios derived from the Australasian Triage Scale
- A mobile-first reference format optimized for iPhone use
- Designed specifically for emergency nurses seeking to hone triage choices
Authors and clinical background
The app was developed by Wayne Varndell (Emergency Clinical Nurse Consultant) and Alister Hodge (Emergency Nurse Practitioner). Their clinical experience informed the scenario design and the educational focus of the content.
Important use limitations
- This app is intended as an instructional resource and not as a substitute for formal, in-person training.
- Transitioning into a Triage Nurse role requires face-to-face education, supervised clinical practice, and assessment within the workplace.
- All scenarios are fictional; any likeness to real persons, living or deceased, is coincidental.
Additional options and recommendations
- Dexcom G7 Free (listed here as a suggested alternative)
- Other triage education platforms and local clinical competency programs
- Institutional simulation labs and supervised clinical placement opportunities
Final note
Use ATS Pro Triage as a supplement to hands-on training and workplace mentorship rather than as a standalone qualification pathway.
