AB232. SOH26AB_0431. Automating referral intake and triage

Irish hospitals receive an estimated 1.8 million referrals each year, creating substantial workload and variation in triage quality. Manual review is slow, inconsistent, and risks missed urgent cases. High referral volumes demand tools that support clinicians to make safer and faster decisions. Bloom is a clinician-engineered platform that automates referral data extraction and applies clinician-defined triage rules to support faster, safer decision-making. We aimed to evaluate Bloom.
