CONTENT SETS
 
Consistent Clinical Advice
at Every Contact Point

Patients/callers have three sources for decision support information: their physician’s office, a medical call center or the Internet.  Schmitt and Thompson recognized the need for consistent clinical content sets for each scenario and have authored protocol sets for use by:

  1. After hours and managed-care call centers (Triage Protocols – After Hours version)
  2. Physician offices (Telephone Protocols – Office Hours version)
  3. Consumers: parents, grandparents, teens, adults  (HouseCalls / Symptom Checker and Parent Advice Messages)
Although the clinical information sets are written for distinctly different audiences, the triage questions and care advice are consistent and drive the same actions based upon the symptoms at hand.

“We partnered with Schmitt and Thompson for use of their protocols in 2001. It was the turning point for sales of our nurse triage software. They’ve become the gold standard for telephone triage.”
