AMS Connect & Pager #s in CORES
AMS Connect is the paging system teams use at SCH, instead of carrying physical pagers. You should have received an email from SCH Voice Operations with information about setting up your AMS Connect account using an app on your smart phone. If you didn’t receive/can’t find the email, email voiceoperations@seattlechildrens.org requesting an activation e-mail and your pager #. Your AMS Connect number is the same as your pager number. There’s more info about using the app here (note that you have to be logged into the SCH network or at SCH to access this page on the hospital intranet). Your team is already using AMS Connect and can likely help you get things started on your phone.
You can assign that pager # to yourself in CORES. Here’s how:
1. Click on CORES tab to view team list
2. Click on the “+ More” tab, located next to the button “View Patient List” on the CORES screen
3. Select “My Preferences” from the drop down menu
4. Enter pager number starting with area code and omitting any spaces or dashes
5. Choose paging service from drop down menu, which should be listed on the back of pager
6. Check the box to enable text paging
7. Click on the tab “Save Changes”
8. Wait for confirmation code to be sent to your pager
9. Enter code on provided line and click verify
10. You’re done!
