This Assessment considers a Capital Proposal Case Study to add a specialized nurse triage center, an offsite center that would be staffed by registered nurses with a multitude of specialties, including emergency department (ED) nurses, critical care, surgical, and even some nurse practitioners. These nurses are able to offer callers medical advice encompassing the treatment of fevers, wound care, and emergent conditions, such as chest pain. The nurses are trained to triage conditions to the appropriate level of care, be that at home, at an urgent care center, or at the ED.
