Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 25 MAS 611 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Patient Portals and Secure Messaging
Captions available
The idea
Patients increasingly want to communicate electronically, but ordinary email and texts may not be secure.
In practice
A secure patient portal, which requires the patient to log in, or an encrypted email system lets the practice meet security requirements.
Where people slip
Redirect patients to the portal for health questions, rather than replying with health details by ordinary email.
