Can some one clarify what the difference is between messages that are in the in box and those which are in the "Show patient messages" folder are they the same messages. And if so if I address the "Show patient messages" folder do the messages in the in box get deleted.
The patient messages, as well as all of the items in the "middle column" are a subset of the messages in the "first column" which would be the inbox. So yes, if you click on the box after dealing with the message to delete, it will be gone from the inbox. If you have a fair number of things in your inbox, it can be helpful to limit it to charts or messages
Can some one clarify the purpose of the "Out box" folder. If I delete those are they deleted from the folder who I sent the messages to.
Thanks
The outbox is what you have sent to others. I'm not sure how you delete them, you can retrieve or modify them. If you retrieve them, yes, they are pulled out of the inbox of the person you sent them to. This is useful if you accidentally send a message or a chart to the wrong person, or if you have more information than you originally put in the message
