→History and origin
For many Emergency medical services (EMS) systems, a similar [[model]] can sometimes still be applied. Once a full response has occurred and many hands are available, virtually every paramedic will use the model included in their [[service]] policy and standing orders. In the earliest stages of an incident, however, when there are one or two paramedics and twenty or more patients, sheer [[practicality]] demands that the above model will be used. As in virtually all aspects of EMS, there are times when 'back to basics' is the only approach that will be effective.

Modern approaches to triage are more [[systematic|scientific]]. The outcome and grading of the victim is frequently the result of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological physiological]] and assessment findings. Some models, such as the START model, are committed to memory, and may even be [[algorithm]]-based. As triage [[concepts]] become more sophisticated, triage [[guidance]] is also evolving into both software and hardware [[decision]] support products for use by caregivers in both hospitals and the field.[6][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triage]
