Patient Triage

Effective triage is essential for managing patient demand, improving clinical workflow and ensuring that urgent cases receive the right care, at the right time. At CallCare Health, our Patient Triage service acts as the first line of support.

Initial
Enquiry Triage

Our healthcare trained agents take the first enquiry from patients, capturing symptoms, concerns and key information using clinically informed templates and triage protocols.

Symptom Assessment & Routing

Based on the details gathered, we categorise the urgency of the issue and route it appropriately, whether it requires a same day appointment, a routine follow up, or administrative support.

We also handle non clinical queries such as test result requests, prescription follow ups, or medical certificate enquiries so your clinical team can stay focused on delivering care.

Triage

We can help your practice to deliver an immediate assessment of need at first contact in line with the demands of the 2023/24 GP Contract. Your dedicated team can signpost patients to relevant services within the community to divert enquiries away from your practice where appropriate, whilst managing your clinical capacity and prioritising patients with the most urgent needs.
