Within what time frame should treatment for minor injuries, receiving a green tag, be completed?

Minor injuries, often associated with a green tag in triage scenarios, indicate that the patient is stable and does not require immediate life-saving intervention. The suggested time frame for treatment of these injuries is within 12 hours. This ensures that patients with minor injuries receive appropriate care without delay, reducing the risk of complications and facilitating a return to normal activities.

Treating minor injuries within this window ensures that medical resources are utilized effectively and that patients continue to be monitored for any changes in their condition, allowing for timely adjustments to care if necessary. This approach helps maintain an efficient patient flow in emergency situations while also adhering to established protocols for triage and care.
