The Importance of Guard Rails in Telephone Triage Systems Researchgate recently noted that my 2015 research article from Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare has reached 2,163 Reads and 46 Citations! Safety of Clinical and Non-Clinical Decision Makers in Telephone Triage: A Narrative Review, March 2015. This article highlights the many gaps (including human and system error) in this emerging field. There is still much work to do to make this fledgling subspecialty ready for the future. In order to work effectively, I believe teletriage requires a framework, essentially a system -- based on 1. structure, 2. process and consensus on definitions for safe 3. outcomes. A system provides the clinical framework within which AI, PA, biotelemetry and other technologies can effectively serve as clinicians' co-pilot!. A critical step in the process of designing and developing all system components, clinical standards must lead and inform technology, not the reverse. Over the last 40 years, I and other experts have developed an emerging prototype for just such a system.
