Inhaltsangabe:
- <p><em><span>Medical triage is the process of classifying patients according to their clinical priorities to maximize the efficient use of limited resources in emergency healthcare. Historically, it originated in the Napoleonic Wars and is now widely used in modern emergency services, disaster management, pandemics, and wartime situations. The primary objectives of triage are the efficient use of resources, ensuring patient safety, and ensuring the continuity of healthcare services.</span></em></p> <p><em><span>Triage systems are used worldwide (color-coded systems, ESI, START, CTAS), the fundamental approach remains the same: rapid identification of critically ill patients and appropriate intervention. While the START triage system is generally used in Turkey, five-step systems are preferred in hospital emergency departments in countries such as the US, Canada, and the UK.</span></em></p> <p><em><span><span> </span>The effectiveness of triage depends on the practitioner's knowledge, experience, and ethical awareness; misclassifications can increase mortality or waste resources. With the COVID-19 pandemic, digitally supported triage systems have become a hot topic, and teletriage and automated prioritization applications have reduced hospital admission burdens. In the future, the success of triage will be strengthened by international standardization, ethics-based training, artificial intelligence-supported decision-making systems, and data security principles, contributing to both efficiency and equity in healthcare.</span></em></p>
