Description of Services
The Telephone Triage & Advice
Center provides evening, night,
and weekend on-call coverage for
primary care physicians (PCPs) by
enabling pediatric registered nurses
to serve in an on-call capacity.
The nursing staff functions as an
extension of the primary care
pediatricians’ practices by triaging
all physicians’ after-hours clinical
calls in accordance with approved
telephone protocols. All telephone
encounters are documented with
a detailed patient assessment and
recommended protocol advice and
are faxed to the child’s PCP.
The Telephone Triage & Advice
Center provides on-call coverage
for more than 140 primary
care physicians throughout
southwestern Pennsylvania. It also
functions as the Pediatric Advice
Line and the MyHealth Advice Line
for UPMC Health Plan.

the Telephone Triage &
Advice Center services and
