Abstract: A patient's entry into the acute care system is often under-informed or mis-informed, resulting in the patient procuring services that are not appropriate for the patient's actual needs. Systems and methods for providing right-sized acute care services can decrease cost and time-to-treatment, while maintaining quality of service for individual patients. The presently disclosed technology provides an integrated and convenient acute care triage solution that extends the capabilities of a patient's health care team. A substantial time and cost savings and resulting performance advantage may be obtained by right-sizing treatment of the patient's urgent medical condition at the patient's first point of entry into an acute care system.
