Triage. This concept of operations refers only to proactive triage, when the incident scope and the resources are defined, and incident management in place. Reactive triage, occurring early in an event (usually in the emergency department) and in the absence of understanding the scope/impact of the event are not considered in this plan and rely on the clinical skills of the providers to allocate resources as needed to provide the greatest good for the greatest number of patients.
