How Teletriage Works

By using Medcor’s teletriage solutions, employers can avoid unnecessary workers’ comp claims and OSHA recordables. Here’s how it works:

An employee sustains injury or illness on the jobsite
The employee contacts their supervisor
The supervisor calls Medcor’s 24/7 injury triage to connect with a registered nurse
The telephone triage nurse assesses the severity of the injury and either advises on first aid or where to seek further treatment
