Available To Downloads

Performing telephone triage requires the ability to make quick and effective decisions based on limited information. This rapid-access resource delivers more than 200 triage protocols for evaluating patients' symptoms over the telephone. Each symptom entry lists questions, grouped by urgency level, to determine whether the caller should seek emergency care immediately, seek medical care the same day, call back for appointment, or follow home care instructions. Detailed home care instructions are then provided. Simple, direct, and useful, this is the most comprehensive and user-friendly telephone triage book available.

Easy to use; like it because it is spiral bound and can be easily flipped through. Like the way the book systematically highlights the questions and areas of importance within a section (i.e., regular questions, then a what to really watch for/life threatening)Also nice that it cross references sections; for example, abdominal pain could also be a chest process and directs one to access both sectionsI got this for my volunteer nurses at the free clinic and I think (hope) it will help them be more systematic and consistent with their triage.

This is a very thorough book on telephone triage. I like how it is divided into adult and children sections as well as systems.

Of course you would use not only common sense, but your training as a nurse as well, but this is a great guide!

Overall this is a very good resource for any nurse wishing to improve his or her triage skills.
