Le triage téléphonique, ou télétriage, est un service de soutien téléphonique dispensé par des professionnels de la santé à des clients qui appellent pour des motifs de santé. Le télétriage est assuré par des infirmières autorisées ou des médecins dans divers milieux. L'objectif du télétriage consiste à déterminer le niveau de soins que nécessite l'appelant, à aborder les options possibles et à circonscrire le degré de gravité de la situation. En fonction des renseignements obtenus à cette évaluation, l'appelant se voit offrir les options suivantes : des soins autoadministrés ou des soins non constitués, une consultation médicale courante, une visite immédiate à la salle d'urgence ou à une clinique d'urgence, ou des services ambulanciers immédiats. 3, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9triage
