title: Secondary 'over-triage' attacked but causes make change difficult.
abstract: While secondary over-triage is the result of a number of systemic problems, experts agree that there are some strategies ED managers can use to help reduce the frequency of such incidents.

Pursue education and outreach with paramedics, and involve them in the development of protocols.
