Congestion in emergency departments is an overall issue. Triaging includes an underlying arranging of patients who arrive at the Emergency Department (ED), keeping in mind the end goal is to organize the most emergency patients and to guarantee giving them the proper and quick healthcare needed. This study plans to survey the models, guidelines, advancement of the electronic triage procedures of the triaging frameworks. Likewise, the goals of this investigation are to experimentally investigate and show the huge of utilizing triaging in various healthcare environment, to highlight the fundamental issues in the triage framework and to open research issues that guide the researches to improve the efficiency of remote healthcare monitoring frameworks by enhancing triaging processes.
