How Secure Texting Can Ease Weather-Related Staffing Issues

Much of the U.S. has been battered by severe winter weather this month. Extreme temperatures, snowfall and icy roads can make it difficult for hospital staff to come to work, potentially causing staffing shortages.

Secure texting software can be useful to hospitals both in notifying staff of a community issue, such as severe weather, as well as getting a headcount of staff able to come to work.

In a blog post, Amcom Software Product Manager Dave Womer highlights how secure texting solutions like Amcom’s Mobile Connect can help healthcare executives during winter storms: “Notifying employees and collecting responses about availability during inclement weather helps manage staffing levels and preserve regular operations.”

“Emergency notification solutions were designed for speed during a time-critical event, but they can be useful for organizing and saving time during many other situations where coordinating large groups is necessary,” he writes.
