	eMedicine - Triage : Article by Robert Derlet, MD
		Triage in emergency departments (EDs) occurred sporadically in the early 1900s in crowded inner-city hospital dispensaries; however, it was not widely adapted in EDs until the latter half of the century, when organized departments with on-duty ED physicians became a national standard.
		Triage is a brief clinical assessment that determines the time and sequence in which patients should be seen in the ED or, if in the field, the speed of transport and choice of hospital destination.
		Triage of newly arrived patients is part of the routine daily operation in nearly every ED in the country.

	Wikinfo \| Triage
		Triage is a system used by medical or emergency personnel to ration limited medical resources when the number of injured needing care exceeds the resources available to perform care so as to treat the greatest number of patients possible.
		Much of the credit for modern day triage has been attributed to the famous French surgeon, Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, a surgeon in Napoleon's army who devised a method to quickly evaluate and categorize the wounded in battle and then evacuate those requiring the most urgent medical attention.
		In advanced triage, in extreme situations doctors may decide that some severely injured persons should not receive care because they are unlikely to survive, and the available care must be rationed to those persons who have some hope of survival.
