Emergency Triage: Extend of our knowledge

Triage is derived from the French word TIER, to sort/separate or select. A process of determining the severity of patients and prioritizing them according to their medical urgency, initially used to sort agricultural products, during disaster, in the battle field and even on telephonic advice, however presently it is exclusively used in specific health care context1 like hospital EDs (emergency department), and in ambulatory medical services.
