Tele-Triage

Fluctuations during peak census hours strain already-taxed nursing teams. Using a secure platform to complete a visual exam and to initiate diagnostic testing, Envision Virtual Health Services is able to evaluate patients until an onsite clinician is available.

Get Started

By bringing together onsite nursing teams and our remote, credentialed emergency medicine clinicians, Envision Virtual Health Services’ tele-triage program allows for rapid increased coverage to manage intermittent and unpredictable volume surges. Once the volume surge is over, our tele-triage partners resume their usual operations and coverage model.

Rapid clinician activation through virtual health reduces the time it takes to call in a backup clinician and eliminates the time and expense of having a clinician travel to the facility. The tele-triage clinician is able to see patients within minutes of being notified.

There are numerous potential benefits to implementing a tele-triage program, including continuing to provide consistent quality care while decreasing variability in performance metrics and optimizing coverage costs.
