Birmingham Symptom specific Obstetric Triage System (BSOTS)

Triage systems are designed to ensure the patient receives the level and quality of care appropriate to their clinical needs and resources available. Triage involves establishing the presenting problem, undertaking a standardised physiological assessment including vital signs and results in a score being assigned based on predictors of urgency which determines the priority of on-going care.
The physiological changes associated with pregnancy mean the standard triage tools may not be applicable. In addition, the underlying good health of the maternity population, which may mask the severity of maternal illness, and no assessment of the condition of the unborn baby reinforce the need for a specific maternity tool. While some informal triaging takes place within maternity care, a national survey showed that women currently wait to be seen in the order in which they arrive and that current prioritisation systems do not use clinical determinants.
Birmingham Symptom specific Obstetric Triage System (BSOTS)
The system was co-produced by clinicians and researchers in Birmingham to prioritise care for women presenting with pregnancy related complications or concerns.
