teletriage
Phone-based medical sorting
Teletriage is medical assessment conducted remotely—by phone, video, or online chat—to determine the urgency of a patient's condition and direct them to appropriate care.
A nurse might advise someone to go to the emergency room, schedule an appointment, or manage symptoms at home: The teletriage nurse told me it could wait until morning.
