About triage
In medicine, triage is a process by which care providers, such as medical professionals and those with first aid knowledge, determine the order of priority for providing treatment to injured individuals and/or inform the rationing of limited supplies so that they go to those who can most benefit from it. Triage is usually relied upon when there are more injured individuals than available care providers or when there are more injured individuals than supplies to treat them.
