A method of determining a triage disposition for a person includes
providing a plurality of triage categories that includes questions
grouped into a plurality of tiers ranked according to urgency. Each of
the plurality of tiers corresponds to one of a set of triage
dispositions. At least a first relevant triage category and a second
relevant triage category can be selected from the plurality of triage
categories based on information about a medical condition of the person
and then accessed. The person can be triaged by (a) identifying from all
of the selected relevant triage categories a highest urgency tier that
has at least one unasked question; Co) asking the person one of the at
least one unasked question of the highest urgency tier; and (c) repeating
(a) and (b) for all of the selected triage categories until the triage
disposition is determined.
