3 -- In the Alternate Triage 5-Category System, the colors are matched with the patient condition. Red/immediate means the patient needs life-saving intervention. Observation/yellow means the patient is stable but needs hospitalization. Dismiss/white means home care is sufficient. Wait/green means the patient can go home but seek medical attention in a few days. Black/expectant means the patient will most likely die from the injuries.
