Get Initial Triage Form

The injured people are placed in four urgent (red), emergency (yellow), delayed (green) and non-salvageable (black) classes.

Triage is a form of process management that fast tracks incoming workflow by priority so the most critical work is attended to first. For example, it is how emergency rooms assess priority for patient care in hospitals. It also is used by companies needing faster workflows for projects under tight deadlines or based.

The triage scale consists of 3 levels: category 1 (immediate), category 2 (urgent), and category 3 (non-urgent).

Triage is the initial assessment of the emergency patient. It is performed immediately on presentation and should take less than five minutes. Triage is the evaluation of the four major organ systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological and renal systems) while simultaneously obtaining a capsule history.

The most common triage system in the United States is the START (simple triage and rapid treatment) triage system. This algorithm is utilized for patients above the age of 8 years. Using this algorithm, triage status is intended to be calculated in less than 60 seconds.

The term refers to the sorting of sick or injured patients ing to their need for emergency medical attention. Triage is thus the method hospital emergency departments use to determine who gets care first.

TRIAGE FACTORS. Immediate. (RED) Delayed (YELLOW) Minimal. (GREEN) Expectant (BLACK)

The triage categories used in both systems are: Red (immediate evaluation by physician), Orange (emergent, evaluation within 15 min), Yellow (potentially unstable, evaluation within 60 min), Green (non-urgent, re-evaluation every 180 min), and Blue (minor injuries or complaints, re-evaluation every 240 min).

The triage scale consists of 3 levels: category 1 (immediate), category 2 (urgent), and category 3 (non-urgent).
