Secure Text Messaging (STM) offers healthcare providers a convenient and efficient means of real-time communication with colleagues. It enables the exchange of lab results, medication requests, and test results through a secure, encrypted messaging platform. 

However, the successful implementation of STM goes beyond technology; it requires a strategic approach to encourage adoption among healthcare professionals. Hospitals can achieve this by implementing an internal marketing campaign, garnering support from the IT department, and soliciting positive feedback from users.
