Texting cancer patients after discharge may cut ER crowding

NCT ID NCT07550192

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at whether sending automated messages to cancer patients after they leave the hospital can help them use the right care—like an urgent care clinic—instead of going back to the emergency room. About 200 adults with active cancer who recently had an ER visit will take part. They will receive texts reminding them about available urgent care resources. The goal is to see if this simple approach reduces ER visits and improves how patients manage their care.
