Episode 3: Telephone Triage

Telephone triage is a process where healthcare professionals, often nurses or specially trained individuals, assess and provide medical advice or guidance to patients over the phone. It is a method used to help determine the appropriate level of care needed based on the patient's symptoms and medical history.

During a telephone triage, the healthcare professional will ask the patient a series of questions to gather information about their symptoms, medical history, and any other relevant factors. They use their clinical knowledge and guidelines to assess the urgency and severity of the situation and provide recommendations accordingly.
