What is Online Triage?
Doctorlink’s Online Triage enables health providers to efficiently manage demand by directing people to the most appropriate care pathway, including self-help, pharmacy and urgent care. It transforms how doctors manage resources, saving money in workforce efficiencies and reducing administrative burden.
The two main health technology components of Online Triage are:
Symptom Assessment
It assesses the patients’ symptoms online by asking a series of medical questions based on an algorithm built by doctors and tech innovators.
Developed by doctors, Doctorlink’s algorithms cover 95% of conditions and provide the most accurate symptom assessment on the market.
Health Service Finder
It recommends the best healthcare pathway solution based on the symptom assessment results.

How Can Our Online Triage Health Technology Help Your Business?
Our online pre-screening asks the same questions as a clinic administrator and a doctor, which means clinics and healthcare providers can take on more patients without having to increase their costs. Doctors can also operate at the top of the licence and focus on those with the most urgent need.
There are 3 key areas where Online Triage demonstrates significant difference:
- Efficiency: Fewer physical medical appointments, reduced phone calls and admin and less demand on doctors.
- Cost: Fewer doctors needed, reduced operational cost, less time spent on unnecessary appointments.
- Patient-centric: Built around patient experience, less time-consuming, 24/7 access, automated process
