It's a little of both actually. I am speaking from an emergency point of view which is probably what the OP information is about. In an emergency situation triage is designed to mark those in most urgent need of care without spending to much time worrying about those that are going to die anyway even if we do stop to help them. For example you see patient A with a massive head injury with brain matter exposed, next to him is patient B with a spurting arterial bleed, the chances of patient A surviving are practically zero whereas if we stop patient B's bleeding they will most likely live. It's about saving as many people, who are savable, as you can.
