Text-Messaging Service Keeps NICU Parents Connected 24/7
From gulflive.com

At the University of South Alabama Children's & Women's Hospital in Mobile, a new "Crib Notes" program is keeping the parents of NICU infants informed about and connected to their babies around the clock. As physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists care for the tiniest neonatal ICU patients, they type details about their days and nights and other health data into computers stationed in the unit. The information is used to generate text messages sent to the mobile phones of parents who choose to receive them, written from the baby's point of view and typically dispatched around 5 a.m. - in time to be read by a parent who has been away from baby overnight.
