Why Its Smart to Use your Cell in an Emergency

Over the last decade, we have seen how technology has improved and become an essential part of our every day lives.

One growing technological advancement is the cell phone. We went from Analog cellular phones to our newest development – smart phones. One of the most popular functions of smart phones is the ability to send SMS texting and MMS messages. A recent study showed that over 500 billion text messages were sent in 2004, which averages out to about 100 text messages per person in the world.

Since most people grab their phone when an emergency occurs, it only makes sense to create a text platform for hospital ER wait times. Studies have shown that when people are faced with minor to moderate emergencies, one of their concerns is how long they will have to wait to see a doctor. This new text platform allows people to bypass this stage by allowing them to text their zip code to 4ER411 and receive local participating hospital ER wait times. Both hospitals and patients can benefit from the new ER texting platform. Hospitals will be able to market their venue through another widely used medium, essentially brining in more revenue for their business. Patients will most certainly benefit from this since they will easily find a hospital near them that can accommodate their needs. The ER system does not come with any hidden or extra cost fees, besides what the cell phone provider fees for text messages.  Visit the official ER Texting website to get more information on how your hospital or emergency care center can benefit from this platform.
