Objective: To investigate the application effect of the pre-examination and triage mode for patients transferred from primary hospitals to the Emergency Department of our hospital during the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019（COVID-19）. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 277 patients transferred from primary hospitals to the Emergency Department of our hospital from January 1

2020 to March 1

2020 during the epidemic of COVID-19. Based on the"three-level

2020

a total of 277 patients were transferred from primary hospitals to the Emergency Department of our hospital

among whom 41 had pyrexia and 4 had suspected COVID-19. Based on the coping strategy of pre-examination and triage

41 cases were given second-level or higher protection in advance after primary screening

and 4 patients with suspected COVID-19 were admitted to the isolation ward after multiple consultations. At present

the rate of COVID-19 infection is zero among our medical staff

patients

and family members. Conclusion:The pre-examination and triage mode has a good effect in patients transferred from primary hospitals to the Emergency Department of our hospital during the epidemic of CIVID-19 and can effectively protect the safety of medical staff while ensuring the efficient and orderly execution of emergency services.
