At the same time, we integrated and analyzed the limits of SMS in the OR A cross-sectional study with quantitative methods and convenience sampling was used to gather data in this study. In the SMS project, we approached the content of SMS with operation diagnosis, patient sources and time series (pre-, intra-, and post-operation), We also default the contents of SMS by patient individual conditions. In this study, 111 participants received 346 text messages and 139 participants answered satisfaction questionnaires (78.53%).. The findings show the usability of SMS as applied to clinical care, especially for reducing family anxiety, for real time information, physician-patient communication, medical care processes and patient safety. Therefore, it is suggested to exploit the effectiveness of a personal medical care information database under global goal in the future and to develop comprehensive management of the surgical patient relationship.
