What Is Secure Text Messaging?

Secure text messaging adds another layer of security to two-way clinical communications. Care teams leverage HIPAA-compliant, secure text messaging applications to share protected health information (PHI) across departments. These applications are more reliable and secure than vulnerable, legacy paging technology. Modern organizations are investing in clinical messaging apps to improve provider performance and deliver better patient outcomes.

Healthcare Is Going Mobile

Reports state that nine of 10 healthcare systems are investing in secure text messaging applications. Additionally, 73 percent of hospitals have implemented mobile strategies to meet the needs of clinical departments. Every day, more facilities recognize the value of secure text messaging and how it enhances care team communication and collaboration.

Override Silent Switch and DND Mode on All Devices

On-Call Presence Statuses

Healthcare organizations now have access to detailed presence information. OnPage’s pager replacement solution provides physicians and nurses with access to presence information so they know if team members are on call and logged in.

OnPage-OpenEMR integration

Combine the power of patient record management with contextual, real-time alerting to bolster decision-making and improve patient care.

Using OnPage’s API, OnPage makes web service requests to OpenEMR records. When established criteria are met (i.e., a change in the EMR that is significant enough to trigger an alert), OnPage receives a response along with relevant information and files to include in an alert to the appropriate physician and/or care team.

OnPage-Amion Integration

The integration combines OnPage intelligent alerts with Amion’s popular scheduling solution. Through the integration, healthcare facilities can give patients instant 24/7 access to on-call physicians while eliminating the costs associated with expensive call center services. Dedicated lines with live call routing capabilities are included in the integration.

White Paper: Impacts of Insecure Texting on Healthcare

52% of doctors and nurses use insecure texting methods to communicate with one another. This means that over half of all messaging by doctors and nurses could expose privileged patient information to unauthorized viewers or hackers.

In our latest white paper, “Impacts of Insecure Texting on Healthcare,” we detail:

  • How insecure texting impacts hospital security
  • The impact of insecure texting on patient privacy
  • How insecure texting impacts the quality of patient care

Read our white paper to learn the risks your institution runs if you don’t end insecure texting.
