TriageLogic™, a leading provider of quality and affordable triage solutions in healthcare, announces full implementation of its Nurse Triage On Call™ service at Cornerstone Health Care headquartered in High Point, NC. Cornerstone is a group of more than 290 physicians and mid-level health professionals representing a wide range of specialties.

The installation of the Nurse Triage On Call software system at Cornerstone, which serves hundreds of thousands of patients located in North Carolina, is a key example of TriageLogic’s ability to handle patient calls quickly, consistently and accurately.

“Cornerstone’s staff has worked to seamlessly integrate TriageLogic’s Nurse Triage On Call as our ‘after-hours’ nurse triage support service,” says Jim Hodge, Cornerstone CFO. “We were impressed with the versatility and potential of TriageLogic and the level of patient satisfaction that we believe it will deliver.”

TriageLogic CEO Ravi Raheja, MD, a pediatrician by specialty, notes that TriageLogic takes pride in both the depth and breadth of its expertise and experience in its full-service triage offerings. “Cornerstone Health Care is yet another example of a dynamic health care provider setting the bar high in terms of patient servicing and care. This is reflected in the successful deployment of our Nurse Triage On Call services at Cornerstone’s facilities.”

TriageLogic’s array of products and services provides physicians, hospitals and clinics a method for standardizing patient care management across multiple offices, including “after-hours” nurse triage support.

TriageLogic’s Nurse Triage On Call offers a compassionate staff of licensed registered nurses who are experienced at listening, coaching and offering education to patients and families.

“We are dedicated to maintaining one of the most sophisticated triage services in the country, so physicians can direct the care of their patients even when they are not answering the calls themselves,” says Charu Raheja, PhD, TriageLogic chair and CEO.
