The Nurse Triage Hotline is staffed by registered nurses who have physician oversight. They specialize in treating workplace injuries and use standardized protocols to assess the injury, determine the urgency, and recommend the proper level of care. They provide self-care instructions when appropriate and direct workers to medical providers including telemedicine, nearby clinics, and urgent care facilities.

The average answer time following a short greeting is usually less than 25 seconds.

We support over 200 additional languages by adding an interpreter to the call.

Our nurse will immediately direct your employee to contact 911 in the event of an emergency. If your employee is unable to make the call, the nurse will call 911.
No, the Nurse Triage Hotline is for the first call after the injury occurs. Once a doctor has been seen, the injury “triage” has already occurred, and the employee is to follow the instructions of the doctor.
Your employee will speak to a nurse who specializes in treating workplace injuries with timely, compassionate care. The nurse will assess the injury by listening to the employee’s responses to questions about their injury. If self-care is recommended, the nurse will provide instructions over the phone and make a follow-up call to the employee the next day. If a visit to a medical provider is recommended, the employee will be referred to a nearby provider and an email will be sent with the provider’s information.

Yes

The call is handled in two parts, beginning with the nurse, before the call is handed off to the nurse triage concierge, who takes in employee information.

Only the employee should be on the call during the nurses portion of the call, however the employee’s supervisor can be present for the concierge portion to provide policy information on behalf of the employee, if needed.
