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

Triage nurses play a critical role in helping patients determine whether they should be seen in-person by a doctor, or can manage their symptoms at home. But triage education can also be a challenge, especially because nurses must understand the best ways to assist patients they cannot see. Some medical schools offer nurse triage training, but there are several skills that may not be taught as thoroughly. Here are the ones we know are the most important. 1. Answering a Variety of Patient Calls Triage

Why Should Doctors Care More About the Quality of Their Medical Answering Services?

Doctors receive patient messages for a variety of reasons, including health concerns, prescription refill or appointment requests, and questions about test results. Medical answering services have become an essential part of the healthcare system for fielding these messages, while providing round-the-clock communication and support to patients and providers. Medical answering services allow doctors and nurses to prioritize their time and focus on more complex and urgent cases that require immediate responses. Consequently, as the demand for medical answering services continues to grow, the need for

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. Normally, when patients call their providers, they’re first greeted by nonclinical operators, like front desk agents or call center representatives. 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

AI in Healthcare: A Valuable Tool for Nurse Triage, But Not a Replacement

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized several industries, and healthcare is no exception. AI applications have already proven invaluable when it comes to diagnostics, patient care, and personalized treatment plans. While these are all certainly impressive, it should be noted that AI in healthcare is still only a tool, not a replacement for the unique human qualities of interaction and empathy. One area where this is particularly relevant is telephone nurse triage. When patients call looking for advice, they’re seeking human connection as

Why Don’t Nonclinical Message Takers Have Protocols Like Triage Nurses?

When a patient calls their doctor’s office, the following series of events usually takes place: a nonclinical operator greets the patient and takes a message about why they called; the operator forwards the message to a triage nurse; the triage nurse calls the patient back and uses Schmitt-Thompson protocols to evaluate their symptoms. These protocols use the severity of those symptoms to determine whether the patient can manage them at home, or should be further evaluated by a physician. This all begs the question: why
