Triage is a system of sorting people into categories of priority. Although it seems like common-sense, it had to start somewhere and its current form is newer than you might think. Medicine pioneered the use of triage on the battle-fields (although evidence suggests that ancient Egyptian physicians may have used basic triage as part of their general medical system). However, triage has also been applied to mental health systems (the scientist-practitioner model), and to academic supports (School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support [SW-PBIS], Response to Intervention {RtI]). Everywhere it is applied, systems improve with a triage system. Triage for everyone!
