SMART Triage

The SMART Triage programme brings together clinical, technical and organisational partners across the Dutch acute-care chain to enable real-time teleconsultation in prehospital care. By connecting ambulance teams with (hospital-based) specialists through a secure communication platform, SMART Triage aims to improve patient outcomes and use healthcare resources more efficiently.
