Aggregate Reports on Nurse Line Results and Outcomes


Ask Mayo Clinic
tracks and reports on all aspects of nurse line program results. Reports help clients understand call trends such as usage, health questions asked, and the level of care the caller intended to seek before calling. The report even compares intended level of care with our nurses' endpoint recommendation. Redirecting callers to more appropriate care (such as primary care instead of the emergency room for nonurgent conditions) can result in significant cost savings.

Aggregate quarterly reports can be customized to your needs and can include:

  • Detailed information on types of calls (including the most frequently used symptom algorithms for adults, children, women and seniors)
  • Call volume (including total calls, monthly call rates and annualized call rate)
  • Repeat usage
  • Call outcomes (including endpoint health care recommendations)
  • Caller redirection
  • Caller demographics (including age, gender)

This information is helpful in tracking the types of concerns and issues facing employees and their family members, and can be useful in exploring condition management solutions.
