I don't feel like I got a clear-cut answer regarding e-mail, security and HIPPA at the ACUC - probably because it is a complicated matter.
Currently, we are sending our patients a medications and supplements list as a fillable PDF form to complete prior to their re-visit with the doctor. This has been a huge help in keeping the doctor updated on what patients are actively taking.
Patients have the option to e-mail back the completed form or print it out and bring it to their visit.
Are any other doctors doing anything similar to this?
Should we be concerned about violating any laws?
Thanks!
