    Design a function for the emergency room triage system that determines if a specific severity score exists among current patients' triage scores and returns both whether the score was found and its position in the triage list. The function must return a tuple containing a boolean indicating if the severity score exists and the position of the matching score (or -1 if not found), enabling medical staff to quickly locate and prioritize patients with similar urgency levels.
