Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The investigators will be using a text messaging intervention to identify potentially dangerous and re- admission causing symptoms in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). Each consented patient will receive weekly text messages inquiring about potentially harmful symptoms identified by a team of physicians. If the patient screens positive via text message, an alert will be sent to the medical team. All patients with SBS on TPN will receive text messages. The investigators will be monitoring response rates to text messages screening for potentially harmful symptoms and compare the text- message response rate to historical rates of successful calls by nurses. All patients with SBS on TPN will receive text messages instead of weekly phone calls from a nurse. If the patient does not respond to the text messages or the text message responses suggest that the patient may be presenting with potentially harmful symptoms, the nurse will call the patient to inquire about more information.
