7. Telephone triage – $17.84
I am sure you can all assume how difficult it is to decide who to help first when waiting rooms at health centers are full of people who are sick. The problem is even bigger when a patient wants to make an appointment from home. A person who talks to the patient really needs to understand him, be patient and listen to all his problems and doubts. Many times, even the patient who is not feeling very well does not know what the problem is. That is why it is important for every hospital to have a person who will answer the phone, listen to a patient’s health problems and schedule a medical examination. Triage, in this case, means that the person employed must know how urgent the patient’s stage is and make his appointment in the calendar accordingly.
