This decision-support tool offers proven recommendations to help enhance call outcomes for dozens of common pediatric problems. Plus it provides practical guidance that make it an ideal staff training and skills-building resource.

Look here for clear, straightforward advice encompassing all the "basics" of state-of-the-art nurse triage.

It combines the latest evidence-based data with the author's broad pediatric-care experience to help nurses better understand "the medicine behind the guidelines."

Tables, figures, and algorithms are used throughout to illustrate and explain triage approaches and procedures. Call types include newborn, illness, trauma, and behaviour and development.

Topics covered include:

The nurse telephone triage process.
Triage quality assurance.
Standard assessment tools.
The golden rules of nurse telephone triage.
Call documentation.
Red flags to watch for.
Call prioritization.
Dealing with difficult callers.
Triage liability and risk reduction.
Determining what the caller "really means".
Prescribing medications over the phone.
Charging for triage calls.
And much more!

Dr. Hertz initiated the Rainbow Call Center in Cleveland in 1996 which opened the possibility for physicians to send their incoming calls to a triage center, especially during off hours. He spearheaded a multidisciplinary group in 1998 to draft the first benchmarks for providing safe telephone triage in pediatrics. The AAP published this criteria and it is still the defining practice for pediatric call centers across the country.
