It sort of started when several providers were looking for secure and encrypted texting solutions to communicate messages about patients throughout the treatment day. Then another provider was instructed by a referring physician group that they would be communicating with providers by texts rather than emails or faxes, so they needed a recommendation on a secure texting solution. Texting options have been discussed on HCCAnet — a great place to get feedback from providers of all types and sizes on their choice of texting options, with continued capabilities of smartphones and other devices.
