Application of the Delphi Method in the Development of a Triage Method for Vulnerable People in Disaster

摘要

This paper introduces a new triage simulation method for use in the design phase of disaster triage method for vulnerable people. The proposed method is an online scenario-based triage simulation incorporates the Delphi method. The method was assessed to determine its effectiveness for obtaining knowledge to improve the design of a new triage method. The result showed that the method is effective for identifying the appropriate triage, consideration points, and the cases for which the appropriate triage is difficult to determine.
