L'ACMU [Association canadienne des médecins d'urgence] a mis au point l'Échelle canadienne de triage et de gravité pour les départements d'urgence (ÉTG) en 1998. L'ÉTG visait à établir une relation entre les besoins des patients en soins et les délais raisonnables pour les rendre, en plus de permettre aux DUs [départements d'urgence] d'évaluer la «lourdeur» de leur clientèle, leurs besoins en ressources, et leur capacité à répondre à certains objectifs opérationnels. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%89chelle%20canadienne%20de%20triage%20et%20de%20gravit%C3%A9%20pour%20les%20d%C3%A9partements%20d%27urgence
