Text Messaging for Hospitals and Medical Facilities
Text messaging is used a variety of ways in hospitals and medical facilities. PageGate allows for messaging to be utilized a number of different ways — SMS messages can be sent from workstations on a network, via web pages, or from within proprietary hospital or bed management systems. PageGate is modular and can be scaled to meet the size of the hospital or medical facility. PageGate can also be easily integrated into existing applications to add text messaging functionality.
