Communicating and Triages patients out of state

    HI, 

    Working in a large academic medical center with specialty and primary care clinics, I was wondering how your organization deals with nurse and APRN triaging over the phone with patients that are out of state?  Ie: patients who live down south for the winter and need INR checks with adjusts, preprocedural phone calls with instructions for patients over the state lines.   Are ambulatory nurses/APRN licensed in multiple states--- wondering what other organizations are doing?
