Description:
Telehealth practice began when nursing professionals triaged and provided health care via telephone to patients. As part of the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems, practices, clinicians, and patients were required to limit their in-person visits through video and telephone visits. As a result, the demand for telehealth nursing has grown. However, as more nurses are needed in the field of telehealth, there may be a knowledge deficit regarding how to effectively triage conditions such as upper respiratory infections (URIs).
Goal and Learning Outcomes:
The goal of this course is to inform nurses about performing telephone triage for upper respiratory infections (URIs) among adult and pediatric populations.
After taking this course, you should be able to:
• Describe common outcomes of triaging upper respiratory infections in healthy adults.
• Discuss three considerations when triaging URIs in pediatric patients.
