Hey everyone, not sure how to describe my need, but it’s as follows.
I am a surgeon, I have multiple assistants to facilitate my day to day. I am either unavailable for long periods of time because I am operating or certain tasks/requests are low level and don’t require my immediate attention. However, I am the one ultimately responsible and the one who has the greatest interest in the happiness of my patients. What I am looking for is a contact number (text) that I can provide my patients that is shared amongst a group of people. This would allow ppl to contact my assistants while i’m unavailable, but for me also allow me to oversee it.
I have an email, but that’s not real time. My assistants don’t want to give out their cell phones. Many of patients have my cell phone, but i’m not always available, and some things I don’t want to be first contact.
Is there a way to share a single phone/messaging account amongst multiple people?
Thank you.
EMR has messaging but it’s directed to me and I’m not starting at the EMR when operating or at night or weekends when post op issues arise.
