Virtual Triage efficiently tackles the first mile of care by getting patients to the right care, at the right place and time with the right type of provider.

• Avoid unnecessary ER and urgent care utilization
• Promote convenient and consumer-centric care access
• Enable better care navigation, including emergency, primary, and specialty care

Clearstep’s Virtual Triage algorithms are built on top of Schmitt Clinical Content and are unique to each patient’s symptoms, acuity, and situation. Dr. Barton Schmitt is the co-author of the telephone triage protocols used in ~95% of call centers around the country and have been validated in over 200 million telephone triage encounters. They are the gold standard for telephone triage and Clearstep is the only provider of Schmitt Clinical Content for chat-based digital self-triage. In a double-blinded study, Clearstep’s triage routing exceeded 95% accuracy when compared to the judgment of a panel of ER doctors in a live, community-hospital setting.

Patient Satisfaction:

Clearstep’s Net Promoter Score (NPS) is 4x healthcare’s average. We consistently see users leaving positive, promotional comments about our clients – we’re white-labeled, so users see Clearstep as an extension of their provider, and leave great feedback about Clearstep in the context of our client’s brand (like the examples on our homepage).

Call/Command Center Efficiencies:

Alternatively, Virtual Triage can be used to scale up non-clinical call center agents and enable to accurate triage and schedule patient appointments.
