Really Simple Syndication

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a way to receive real-time updates from a website. Subscribing to an RSS feed ensures that a subscriber stays up to date without needing to visit the website regularly or overloading their email account with subscriptions.

How RSS works.

To subscribe to an RSS feed, you need an RSS reader. This is a software tool set up to monitor the website the user has subscribed to and provide updates as they are published on the source site. Readers can monitor multiple sites and the reader aggregates all updates in one place.

Don't have an RSS reader?

Some internet browsers like Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer have RSS readers incorporated into their user interface. Chrome offers an RSS Subscription Extension as a plugin that can be added to the browser. Microsoft Edge has various RSS options in the Edge Add-ons store. Third-party RSS readers are also available for browsers that don’t include the capability. For additional options, including mobile-friendly readers, search "RSS Feed Readers" in your favorite search engine. 

Information gathered by an RSS feeder is available directly from the reader. It captures the information in real time, so a subscriber can easily stay up to date by checking the reader. Because an RSS subscription doesn’t communicate through email, there is no risk that important updates get lost in spam filters or missed in a long list of daily emails. Notifications will appear in your browser or app depending on the reader you've selected.

What is an RSS feed?

A single RSS reader can be used to track updates from multiple websites all in one place. This feed shows you only the most recently updated information from each site that you have subscribed to. Think of it like a podcast app that highlights new shows from each of the channels that you subscribe to. On 340Bpvp.com, an RSS feed allows users to set alerts related to new content posted on the website.

If you do not already use an RSS reader, it may be easiest for desktop users to subscribe using the RSS reader within your internet browser.

Third-party RSS readers are also available for browsers that don’t include the capability. For additional options, including mobile-friendly readers, search "RSS Feed Readers" in your favorite search engine. A third party RSS reader would likely be best for those using a mobile device

You will need to subscribe under each page for which you wish to receive updates. For example, if you would like updates for all FAQ categories, you will need to subscribe under each.

How do I see updates on the pages that I have subscribed to?

Each time a page is updated, it will be noted by your RSS reader. How you are altered to these changes will vary based on the type of reader that you have. If you are using a reader through your internet browser, you can hover over or click the (button) icon to the right of the address bar to see each of the updates or alerts. If you are using a third-party reader, you would have to either open that app or go to that website to see all of your new alerts.
Examples of Alerts within a third party website:

HRSA FAQ updates will direct you to the page that was updated. On each page, the most recently updated FAQs are listed at the top with the last edited date.

340B Tools updates will direct you to the specific tool that was updated. Clicking on the notification will open/download the tool directly through your browser. If you do not see the tool open, be sure to check your recent downloads

Can updates be sent to my email?

RSS feeds can also be subscribed to directly through Microsoft Outlook. This allows updates/notifications to be sent directly to an RSS Subscription folder within your Outlook application. For instructions on how to set this up, click here.
