Simplified Geneva Score Calculator

A one-point simplified scoring system replaced the previously weighted scores for each parameter. This was done to reduce the likelihood of error when the score is used in clinical settings. The simplified Geneva score does not lead to a decrease in diagnostic utility when compared to the previous Geneva scores.
