  • 1.  Triage of calls and patient portal messages

    Posted 05-21-2025 13:11

    We are currently working on a unit champion role description for telephone and My Chart message triage.  I am trying to come up with a name for the nurse that does both phone and patient portal messages as they seem to get intertwined. 

    Is there a common term for this yet? 

    Does e'Triage make sense?   or Tele-Triage.

    Something that encompasses both modes and it's not confused with in-person triage.

    I've heard the term Access Nurse used in other facilities. I didn't know if it needed to contain the word Triage or not.
