[TAO] Fwd: On-call communications methods

[Catherine Britain]

Are any of you using something other than cell phones or pagers for
physician on-call?  If you are, would you be willing to share with Bob at
the NRTRC?

Thanks much,
Cathy

All,****

** **

I received the following request from an IT manager: ****

** **

I am wanting to know what other healthcare organizations are doing for on
call communication to physicians.  We currently use pagers, but that seems
a bit outdated.  Cell phones prove to be unreliable in disaster situations.
****

** **

Any input would be appreciated.****

** **

Thanks!****
