Re: Re: Ticklr/ reminder systems

[Guest guest]

I believe active inbox just added the send later feature as well

Very well integrated with gmail and google apps

They also added a notes feature

Also called gtdinbox. I used them for about a year for their other gtd features but don't need all those bells and whistles any more

With Updox, which I use for fax and email to patients, you can set it to let you know if the receiver of the email has not read it in X amount of days. I set mine for 4 days. If it returns as "unread" and it's urgent, I then call them and leave a message, and note that as an addendum in the chart. More often, I print out the fax and/or email and mail it to them, noting that in the chart.

Do you all think this meets the HIPPA requirement? Updox provides a password-protected patient portal as part of its basic service.

How to you assure patients have accepted email delivery of medical information in view of HIPAA requirements.

Do all of your patients sign an email waiver? Mine do.

Although my EMR sends patient reminders via email, I’m wondering if there is a way to schedule email reminders in Outlook or with an outlook add on. Probably is.
