University Health Services Call Center Solutions

Comprehensive Call Center Solutions For University Health Centers

Telephone Nurse Triage

AccessNurse has been providing services to university health centers for more than 27 years. We understand student health issues that require sensitivity as well as real-time communication and crisis intervention. Our staff are trained on communicating effectively with students and presenting a non-judgmental and supportive attitude. Our account managers are experienced in alerting student health staff to issues that may indicate a health trend or require an intervention.

AccessNurse health information lines enable students to:

  • Be directed to the appropriate level of care for illness or injury
  • Successfully maintain chronic conditions
  • Proactively approach personal healthcare

Our Schmitt-Thompson triage guidelines have nurse advice for behavioral/mental health calls, which we frequently utilize within student health populations. Additionally, we can embed client specific directives in our system for behavioral calls that require direction not included in the guidelines.

Solutions include:

  • After-hours and/or 24/7 telephone nurse triage
  • Facility and emergency referrals
  • Standing orders for medications
  • Special health alert information (embedded in the system)
  • Customized call and service branding

TESTIMONIALS

“The after-hours nurse triage service has been very convenient for us. The staff is great to work with and make our jobs easier.”

University Program Coordinator & Registered Nurse

Northeast U.S. University System

"AccessNurse offers a degree of comfort not only to the parents of our students, but to our staff. I tell parents at orientation that their sons and daughters are able to speak with a nurse 24/7. We were able to customize the after-hours AccessNurse service to meet the needs of our students. I would highly recommend AccessNurse to provide a great service to your campus.”

Director of Health Services

Anderson University

"AccessNurse has been an invaluable addition to the services we provide our students at TCU. Last year, 81% of the students who called after hours did not know what to do for their medical issue. However, AccessNurse RNs were able to provide home care instructions and advice, so students could manage their medical condition until the clinic re-opened. We treasure the partnership we have with AccessNurse.”

University Healthcare After-Hours

Moving away from home and starting college is a very exciting and memorable time in a young person’s life. However, on top of all the excitement and wonder of what the future will hold there is also responsibility. For the first time in their lives, these students will be responsible for seeking Health Care related services without the support and guidance of an accompanying parent and almost all of them will do so using their respective College or University Health Services when they are open.
