triagers
Emergency case rankers
Triagers are people who perform triage—sorting and prioritizing cases by urgency.
The term appears most often in medical contexts, where triagers assess patients to determine who needs immediate care: The triagers directed gunshot wounds to trauma bays and minor injuries to the waiting room.
It extends to anyone who sorts incoming work: bug triagers in software development, content triagers reviewing flagged posts.
