Nurse Triage

Patients concerns and changes in health condition aren’t restricted to a 9-to-5 workday. With an after-hours nurse triage service, patients can access a nurse any time of day or night.

What is Nurse Triage?

Nurse triage is the process of identifying the nature and urgency of a patient’s call and then determining the appropriate next steps within the defined plan of care. With hospice triage and home health triage, our licensed nurses have direct line of sight into your patient’s condition based on their current medical record. IntellaTriage conducts hundreds of thousands of nurse-triage calls every year and has more than a decade of experience in this area. We help you provide your patients the highest level of care at any time of day, any day of the year.

Nurse Triage vs. Medical Call Center

“Medical call center” is a fancy way of saying answering service. Most medical call centers will direct patients to call back during business hours, send patients through labyrinths of automated menus, and play prerecorded messages. We believe your patients deserve better. At IntellaTriage, we direct patient calls to licensed nurses in under one minute. This enables your patients to receive appropriate care, medically sound advice, and an excellent experience – day or night.

How Does It Work?

IntellaTriage’s after-hours nurse-first solution provides your patients with effective and timely access to a home health and hospice triage nurse. Our team of highly trained licensed nurses is standing by to evaluate symptoms and determine the appropriate level of care. The care provided by IntellaTriage is HIPAA-compliant.
