'''Triage''' (pronounced /ˈtriɑʒ/) is a [[process]] of prioritizing patients based on the severity of their condition. This rations patient treatment efficiently when resources are insufficient for all to be treated immediately. The term comes from the French verb trier, [[meaning]] to [[Fraction|separate]], sort, sift or select.[1] There are two types of triage: simple and advanced.[2] The outcome may result in determining the order and priority of emergency treatment, the order and priority of emergency transport, or the transport destination for the patient, based upon the special needs of the patient or the [[balancing]] of patient distribution in a mass-casualty setting.
