In addition to triage calls, we receive questions requesting information on medical conditions, medications, diagnostic tests, etc… All calls are documented electronically and all telephone encounters are recorded.
Our clients are primarily physician practices. Clients have their patients’ calls transferred to us when their offices are closed. The majority of hours are evenings, nights and weekends. Our nurses work remotely from home.
