Mechanisms¶
- Severity or Triage Scale
- Its signature failure is the over-triage / under-triage tradeoff: push thresholds to avoid missing a serious case and you flood the high levels and waste capacity; tighten them to protect capacity and you risk under-triaging someone who deteriorates.
This sourceDefines undertriage as failure to route seriously injured patients to timely specialized care and overtriage as unnecessary use of scarce trauma-center resources, documenting their tradeoff.

- Triage Protocol
- Over-triage floods the top band (classifying too much as critical) until the priority means nothing and everyone waits; under-triage misses genuinely critical items and lets them deteriorate in a lower band.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
