Triage is a medical assessment process carried out by qualified medical staff to see how ill a patient is. This helps them to determine which patients need urgent care.
During triage, patients are given a rating from one to five, with one being patients in need of the most urgent care. Patients with a five triage rating can expect a longer wait to see a doctor than those with lower ratings.
Triage was introduced to Australian hospitals in the 1970s to ensure urgent treatment was given to patients most in need. In the past, patients brought in by ambulance were always treated first whatever the complaint and others were treated in order of arrival. This meant someone brought in by a relative with a severe injury (eg accidental amputation of a finger) had to wait for treatment behind someone who might be seeking relief from flu symptoms. Triage means patients who need urgent treatment are seen first.
The five triage ratings are:
