Abstract
In the fall of 1993, we described our 5-year experience in providing after-hours telephone triage and advice for patients of private pediatricians in metropolitan Denver (The After-Hours Program).1 In the year since our report, we have come to recognize a rapidly growing interest in large scale programs that offer centralized after-hours pediatric telephone triage and advice provided by well-trained nurses using standardized guidelines. In the past year our program has expanded to serve approximately 165 pediatricians throughout Colorado (95% of Denver private pediatricians and 75% of Colorado private pediatricians).
