Dear Tobin,
Thank you for clarifying the secure messaging with Updox, but I want to make sure I understand you correctly. As long as my nurse or myself communicate with the patient via the secure portal through Updox we are HIPAA compliant. As I am not emailing or contacting patients electronically outside of Updox at this point. We have gotten several messages from patients through the portal. So would the best terminology to use with my patients be secure messaging through the portal rather than emailing in the portal--as email connotes non HIPAA compliance? thanks for your input--jimmie
