Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently and accurately triaging a patient are provided. The systems and methods access an electronic health record of the patient based on a detection of an event, such as entering an emergency department. Additionally, the systems and methods collect triage vitals of the patient. Further, free-text within the electronic health record is mapped and binned. In response to the mapping and the binning, the systems and methods input features into an acuity level predictor. Based on inputting the features into the acuity level predictor, the systems and methods output an acuity level of the patient for triaging the patient.
