strength of e-mail is that it allows for file attachments -- individual
computer files -- which enables detailed information concerning
any subject to be included as part of any e-mail transmission.
To a doctor, e-mail allows patient records and information to
instantly be sent securely and directly to a hospital or to another
physician. Medical labs are able to transmit test results directly
to your office. Pharmacies can call in prescriptions via e-mail
and receive accurate details concerning patient medications. Patients
can also be reminded of their appointments via e-mail, and under
appropriate circumstances, can be advised of test results and
other medical information.
