Do you Have Operators Taking Medical Messages? New Software Makes It Easier to Train, Ensures Relevant Messages, and Increases Doctor Satisfaction
Traditional training for nonclinical operators to perform medical message intake often requires about a month: first, a week to learn how to be an operator, then an additional two for memorizing industry terminology, keywords, and patient symptoms that could be red flags for greater health complications. This is usually a manual process with operators who have no medical training, which means it’s both time-consuming and leaves the door open for potential message inaccuracy. We’ve developed an easy-to-use software solution for operators that reduces this training
An Essential Checklist for Evaluating Your RPM Vendor
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has revolutionized healthcare by enhancing access to care, improving patient outcomes, and reducing provider costs, particularly when it comes to chronic care management. Successful RPM programs offer clarity over patient data, including vitals like blood pressure and pulse ox, to identify early warning signs of potential health conditions. As this innovative technology continues to evolve, however, providers must be sure to maintain RPM compliance with billing codes and other industry regulations. Here are the factors they should keep in mind when

Press Release: New White Paper From TriageLogic Helps Operators Improve the Accuracy of Medical Messages to Providers
TriageLogic has released a white paper that shares data they’ve compiled about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmentation to benefit medical message intake.

These operators determine the reasons why patients are calling, and forward those messages to the appropriate nurses or providers for review. In many cases, triage nurses are responsible for vetting these messages and determining how urgent they are before calling patients

3 Reasons Why Triage Nurses Need to Train With Simulated Patients
Simulated patients can take many forms, yet they all serve the same purpose: to provide a safe and controlled environment for nurses to practice their skills. Nurses can make mistakes and learn from them without putting real patients at risk. Some simulated patients have been standardized patients (SPs) who have been coached so well that clinicians may not know the difference. Now, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has allowed this area of health care to become even more effective thanks to the realistic nature
8 Skills That Are Essential to Your Nurse Triage Training

But triage education can also be a challenge, especially because nurses must understand the best ways to assist patients they cannot see.
