Tobin,
What happens if my nurse or myself accidentally send Mr Jones PHI across the portal to Mr Smith ? Will Mr Smith be able to then open up the message and see Mr Jones PHI?
Also just trying to understand why one modality is deemed HIPAA compliant and another not, such as faxing versus emailing. A breech of PHI seems just as easy by faxing to a wrong number as emailing to a wrong address. I've been faxing PHI for years, but never really thought about these issues much till starting AC/Updox recently and now being paperless has definitely opened up new areas of communicating but also new concerns. So bear with my simplistic understanding of this field.
I have also noticed a portal payment option. Could you expand on what this capability offers. thanks for your time. jimmie
