JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When medical providers miss patient phone calls, does that make them liable for poor health outcomes? That's the argument being made against one Wisconsin doctor facing malpractice complaints after neglecting to respond in a timely manner to their patient, who later died. On the other hand, better medical message intake by front desk receptionists can improve patients' access to care, ensure timely callbacks from doctors, and reduce medical liability. TriageLogic, a leader in telehealth technology, has released a new tool called MedMessage Assist (MMA), which helps front desk phone operators take more accurate messages from patients to providers.
