OU Physicians Clinics should use Secure Messaging via the IDX Centricity Electronic Medical Record (EMR).

(3) Patient Reply - patient response to the message. (4) Critical Results - results that require immediate intervention or are lifethreatening. (5) Protected Health Information (PHI) - any information about health status, medical treatment, or payment for health care that can be linked to an individual. (6) Release of Information: a signed authorization is required if the patient requests a copy of their medical record. A physician may release a patient s medical record / information directly to the patient without a signed authorization form, if it is the physician s desire (versus the patient s request) that the patient have the information.

A disclaimer must accompany secure messages advising the patient to contact the clinic by other means if concern is warranted. If a provider is unavailable to respond in a reasonable time, a designee must be identified. g) Grammar and content should reflect the professional clinic conversation that would be used with the patient in person.

Attachments may originate only from the patient s chart.
4 Policy Number: Page: Page 4 of 5 (4) Referrals: Information on referral appointments may be sent via secure message if the appointment is greater than 14 days out.
