What does TRIAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The process of sorting patients, casualties or tasks into an order of priority based on urgency or need.
Triage began as battlefield practice, where medics with limited time and supplies decided who needed help first, who could wait, and who was beyond saving. The word later spread from medicine into any situation with too many demands and not enough resources, such as an inbox, a helpdesk, or a disaster response. Doing triage always means making a fast, sometimes hard, judgment call about order rather than fixing everything at once.
How TRIAGE is used
Originally medical and military, now common in any context involving prioritising limited resources.
- Nurses perform triage as soon as patients arrive at the emergency room.
- The IT team did triage on hundreds of overnight support tickets.
- Medics carried out triage after the earthquake struck the town.
- The editor's job was mostly triage among dozens of submissions.
- Triage decided which patients went to surgery first.
