Sign up to receive same-day URGENT TEXT notifications from Cincinnati Children’s

Community providers and their staff can now Opt-In to a new Urgent Message Notification System. The system allows us to communicate same-day, urgent information using SMS text messaging. 

Our definition of ‘urgent’ is very narrow.  It includes same-day system events that could disrupt patient care or flow of patient information.  Examples that would generate an urgent text notification are: 

  • unexpected site closures (and re-opening)

  • network outages impacting the flow of patient information

  • extreme inpatient or emergency room census affecting patient flow

While we cannot predict the future, we estimate the maximum need for urgent communication as 1-2 times/month.

Click HERE to submit your information (Opt-In) and register for Urgent Text message communication.  You can Opt-Out (and back in) anytime.  You should receive a ‘welcome’ message soon after you submit your information.
