Still using occupational nurse triage for workers comp?
You might be surprised at what occupational telemedicine services are costing you, and how much you can save with an MD-led response.
Nurse-line triage and MD-led triage take fundamentally different approaches to managing injury risk.
Nurse-Line Triage
Designed for call routing and documentation
Protocol-driven
Conservative escalation is the default
Sprains and strains escalated based on predefined protocols
Often increases downstream workload
Optimizes for process compliance
Unnecessary clinical escalations
Increased return-to-work timelines
Increased safety team workload
Nurse-line triage manages risk through escalation.
MD-Led Triage
Designed for real-time medical decision-making
Physician judgment-driven
Escalation only when clinically appropriate
Access to Imaging and MD-led MSK care further reduce escalation
Reduces follow-up and rework
Optimizes for injury outcomes
Fewer unnecessary escalations
Improved return-to-work metrics
Reduced safety team workload
MD-led triage manages risk via appropriate medical decisions.
Real-world outcomes with MD-led injury response
Takes less than 2 minutes. No detailed claims data required.
