Doctors Answers Their Texts Faster Than Pagers

http://www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-information-technology/7-ways-to-secure-physician-text-messages.html

It's the best invention ever! It's not only the doctors but anyone- even my mother with arthritic fingers answers text messages quicker than the phone call. In my opinion, there's a lot more advantages to using this technology as a way to communicate. It improves workflow, increases patients and providers satisfaction, miscommunications with foreign speaking providers will be avoided. (have you ever tried spelling Rolling Walker to a new resident?) It's pretty embarrasing. The problem however, is  keeping it secure. This article outlined ways to keep text messages secure. I think it's worth giving it a try.
