triage nurses
Emergency room sorters
Triage nurses are medical professionals who assess and prioritize patients based on the urgency of their conditions, typically in emergency rooms or urgent care settings.
They determine who needs immediate attention and who can safely wait, using standardized protocols to evaluate symptoms, vital signs, and medical history: The triage nurse took one look at his chest pain and rushed him to the back.
