FONEMED’s Registered Nurses provide telephone triage and health advice to callers across North America.    We use computerized Schmitt/Thompson triage guidelines to assist in assessing patients’ symptoms.  In addition to triage calls, we receive questions requesting information on medical conditions, medications, diagnostic tests, etc…  All calls are documented electronically and all telephone encounters are recorded.

FONEMED’s clients are primarily physician practices.   Clients have their patients’ calls transferred to FONEMED when their offices are closed. The majority of hours are evenings, nights and weekends.
