About Secure Messaging |
|
Medem's Secure Messaging allows practices to designate which patients they will communicate with, select which types of messages the practice will handle, and route messages to the person in the practice responsible for responding the requests. The Secure Messaging service has a number of features, which your practice may access to reduce administrative burdens and improve efficiencies in your practice. |
|
Appointment reminder - allows staff to automatically remind patients about scheduled appointments saving time, decreasing "no show" rates, and reducing costs associated with mailing reminders and phone calls. |
|
Appointment request - allows patients to request or change appointments in a highly structured format that reduces phone calls in scheduling appointments. |
|
Prescription renewals - allows communication with patients about their medication renewals. A form gathers all pertinent information that can be approved and routed to the appropriate pharmacy via fax. |
|
General messaging - secure communication instead of email. |
