Telemedicine — Medical Help That’s Just a Call Away

As part of CompWest’s commitment to providing our customers with resources to keep their employees safe as well as support when injuries occur, we’re now offering a new telemedicine service — TeleCompCare®. This 24/7 nurse triage and telemedicine program gives injured workers quick access to medical care from experienced triage nurses.

How TeleCompCare® Works

When an employee is injured in the workplace and requests medical treatment, a supervisor can direct the injured worker to CompWest’s TeleCompCare® hotline. There, a trained triage nurse can provide an initial assessment, refer the patient to medical care when appropriate and connect them with a telemedicine occupational doctor via live video conference on a computer, tablet or smartphone.
