ER Advisor is launching in our ED very soon! We want to give you all a quick overview of what this platform is all about and how it will help improve patient care. ? The ERAdvisor experience starts when a cell phone is entered into the electronic health record. ? The patient is sent an SMS message to their smartphone. ? Best practice is to collect cell phone numbers on every patient, every time, even the patients that arrive by ambulance. There are smart filters in place to exclude patients who shouldn’t be invited to the platform. Patients who are an ESI of 1 are generally NOT invited to the app. ? Patients should be told that they will receive an SMS message from your hospital and that it is not spam. Please instruct patients to click on the URL or link to enter into the platform. Please remind patients that it is NOT just text message updates. It is a secure website that will keep them up to date about everything that is happening during their ED visit and follow up after they leave the hospital.
