Hello, We are currently reviewing our policies on emailing personal health information outside of our hospital. We are also considering disabling the email feature in Meditech's EMR and filtering outbound email messages for inappropriate content (such as patient identifiers, certain key words).
If anyone has gone through the process of restricting this type of email I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Was a policy enough or did you have to disable functionality or implement tools to filter outgoing email? If so, what tools did you use? Was there any resistance from your user community? Did you make exceptions if there was a reasonable justification? Thank you in advance for your input!
