In Australia in 2021–22, one-third of ED patient presentations were for lower urgency needs which could have been managed in a primary care setting or by self-care.
Our latest study of 1.55 million healthcare encounters shows that Infermedica’s virtual triage helps patients make the right care decisions. After using the system, the share of patients intending to visit the ED dropped from 36.7% to 24.6%.
That’s thousands of patients redirected to the right level of care, helping to:
✔️ Ease overcrowding in emergency departments
✔️ Ensure timely access for those who truly need urgent care
✔️ Improve overall healthcare system efficiency
Virtual triage isn’t just convenient, it’s smarter care for everyone.
