Carolinas HealthCare System announced Tuesday it has established a "CHS Alerts" RSS feed for the Democratic National Convention. The RSS feed will allow subscribers to automatically receive urgent, health-related news updates during the convention.
CHS says officials will stand ready to update the feed during the DNC. The feed will also contain some visual and audio content. Each message will contain a link to more detailed information.
Following the DNC, the feed will remain active. Officials hope it can be of use in future large gatherings, weather situations, with transportation issues or other community-wide incidents.
All information sent through the RSS feed will also be posted on the CHS web site, all CMC hospital web sites, system Facebook pages and Twitter accounts.
CHS offers additional RSS feeds, including a general CHS News feed, and feeds that are specific to individual CHS facilities. Subscription to any of the CHS RSS feeds is free, and benefits those who wish to be notified whenever CHS issues a news release or an important statement.
