FONEMED’s Registered Nurses provide telephone triage and health nurse advice to callers across North America remotely; from the comfort of their own home office. We use computerized Schmitt Thompson triage protocol guidelines to assist in assessing patients’ symptoms. In addition to nurse triage calls, we receive questions requesting service solution information on medical conditions, medications, diagnostic tests, etc. All calls are documented electronically and all telephone encounters are recorded.
