| Concept | Triage |
| Description | The assignment of a degree of urgency to wounds or illnesses, in order to decide the order of treatment of a large number of patients or casualties. |
| Use | Use to record details about the assignment of a degree of urgency to wounds or illnesses, in order to decide the order of treatment of a large number of patients or casualties. This archetype has been designed to provide a generic framework for any triage priority, which may be specifically defined for a specific clinical location or event within a template for a specified clinical scenario. The triage priority may be time-related, indicating that the patient must be attended to within a specified timeframe. This archetype may be specialised to represent specific triage assessment tools. |
| Purpose | To record details about the assignment of a degree of urgency to wounds or illnesses, in order to decide the order of treatment of a large number of patients or casualties. |

| Priority assignment | Priority assignment: Clinical assessment of the degree of urgency appropriate for treatement of an injury or illness. There are many examples of triage categories in use. This archetype allows for any and all to be modelled by inclusion of specific values in this data element within a template for a specific clinical scenario. For example: High or Low; Now (immediate/life-threatening), Soon (urgent, up to 1 hour), Walk (delayed; up to 3 hours), Dead (no care required); or other defined categories. |
| Rationale | Rationale: The rationale for the assessment provided. Coding with an external terminology is preferred, where possible. |
| Disposition | Disposition: The immediate plan for continuing health care for an individual after triage has occurred. For example: To be seen/registered; refer to other facility; or refer to other department. Coding with an external terminology is preferred, where possible. |
