Question

The process of sorting patients to determine medical need and the priority of care _______________________

Answer 1

Triage is the process of sorting patients to establish treatment and transportation priorities according to severity of injury and medical need.

What is traige?

Triage always follows the modern interpretation of the Hippocratic oath, but otherwise there is plenty of leeway in interpretation, leading to more than one simultaneous idea of its nature.

The best settled theories and practical scoring systems used in here come from the area of acute physical trauma in an emergency room setting; a broken bone obviously counts for less than uncontrolled arterial bleeding, apt to lead to death.

But no current principle carries too well over to mental health, reproductive health (such as abortion), chronic medical conditions, geriatrics, or palliative care (including euthanasia).

This is because triage needs to balance multiple and sometimes contradictory objectives simultaneously, most of them being fundamental to personhood: likelihood of death, efficacy of treatment, patients' remaining lifespan, ethics and religion of them all.
