Features

Key Features of Our
Call Handling & Triage Support Services

Clinically supervised

At LineIn, we provide clinically supervised call handling to ensure patients are directed to the right service first time. Our team collects detailed medical histories to support an efficient triage. We help maintain high care standards and ensure you focus on patients who truly need in-person consultations.

Dedicated trained staff

We hire and train call handlers to work for a specific practice (or group of practices) to ensure our staff are familiar with your systems and way of working.
This ensures they know where to enter information and know your protocols so they can redirect patients to the right resources first time right.

Secure system access

Our call handlers are able to support your practices using secure access via GP in the Cloud and are managed to operate within agreed governance processes.

First contact resolution

Our call handlers can improve first call resolution by turning the first contact into a structured “solve-or-route” moment, not a message-taking only exercise. This is further supported by 1.) Capturing the right information first time, 2.) Resolving simple admin requests immediately, 3.) Using protocol-led care navigation and 4.) Applying clear escalation rules.

Protocol-led care navigation

Navigating patients to the correct service can be time-consuming. Our services ensure patients understand their next steps in the care process. Whether it's follow-up appointments, specialist referrals, or self-care guidance, our experienced and trained triage team delivers clear information, reducing unnecessary calls to your practice.

Reporting and visibility

At Linein we are dedicated to improve performance by making it measurable and allowing us to have meaningful conversations with our clients and our staff. Providing reporting and visibility on volumes, answer rates, handling times and trends.

Our Process

How We Integrate With Your Practice

Customising Our Services to Fit Your Needs

At LineIn, we recognise that every practice is unique. That’s why we work closely with you to tailor our call handling and triage support services to the specific needs of your practice, whether you’re a single practice, a group, or part of a Primary Care Network (PCN). Our team collaborates with you to set up efficient processes, pathways, and protocols, ensuring your patients have smooth and effective access to your practice’s services right from the first point of contact.

Professional Call Handling Solutions

Our team is fully trained to answer patient calls in line with your practice’s procedures. When a patient calls, our advisors follow your guidelines to gather a comprehensive medical history and details about their symptoms or concerns. This patient interaction process helps direct each call to the most appropriate pathway, whether it’s advising self-care, directing to a nurse, or scheduling an appointment with a GP. This ensures every patient receives the right care at the right time.

Efficient Communication with Your Practice

Once the call is complete, we submit the enquiry to your practice, ensuring it contains all relevant information for quick and accurate handling. The query is allocated to the appropriate person or department within your practice, whether it’s a GP, nurse, or admin team member. This streamlined communication allows your team to prioritise patient issues, respond efficiently, and ensure that patients receive timely care, whether through advice, treatment, or other action.
