Telephone Triage nurses have always been concerned about the legal issues inherent in telepractice. That concern has not changed in the last 15 years. If anything, interest in risk management has heightened in recent years, as new trends appear that augment the risk. In several areas however, significant progress has been made to contain the risk. The most notable developments include telephone triage standards and new policy statements related to telephone triage.  This home study can be taken online.
