Go beyond “just” secure messaging

Does it matter if a physician wants to use a personal phone to send messages to colleagues if it makes her job easier? Yes! Federal laws require that identifiable patient information be kept secure, and neither standard messaging or emailing are considered secure methods of communication. Plus, mobile devices become significantly more useful if they are integrated with the facility’s employee directory and on-call schedules.
