What features should you look for in telephone triage protocols?

Telephone Triage Nurses evaluate the seriousness of a caller’s condition based on the symptoms. Because of the variety of ages and reasons for the phone call, the triage protocols have to be extremely comprehensive, need to be re-evaluated regularly, and need to give targeted advice based on the symptoms of the caller. Schmitt-Thompson protocols have all the features necessary to make it the best-in-class protocols for patient care.
