When using our text page system it is preferable to use the computer, rather than the telephone to enter your text page. This is done from the Partners Paging System at http://ppd.partners.org. If you are outside the hospital and it is necessary to text page a person using the telephone and BWH phone operators, keep messages brief (less than 50 characters) and do not use medical terminology that might be misspelled. Please be sensitive to the very high volume of calls our phone operators handle from our patients.
