Prioritization

Prioritization is the activity that arranges items or activities in order of importance relative to each other.[1][2]

In the context of medical evaluation it is the establishment of the importance or the urgency of actions that are necessary to preserve the welfare of client or patient.[3] In the clinical context, establishing priorities aids in the rationale and justification for the use of limited resources. Priority setting is influenced by time, money, and expertise.[4] A risk priority number assessment is one way to establish priorities that may be difficult to establish in a health care setting.[5]

Software has been designed to assist professionals in establishing priorities in a specific business setting.[6]

Creating a list may be the first step in establishing priorities.
