Setting Up Direct Mail (Secure Messaging) on the iPad App

Direct Mail enables you to send patient data to a receiving provider during a transition of care. Additionally, while you use IntraMail to securely send messages to providers, staff, and patients within your practice, use Direct Mail to securely send messages to and receive messages from providers outside of your practice.

Direct Mail messages look like email messages, and patient records look like email attachments. The closed architecture of the system makes it secure and HIPAA compliant.

Before you can use Direct Mail, you must set it up using a two-step process. Each user must request a direct address, and one user must verify his or her identity on behalf of the entire practice.

To set up Direct Mail access for your user account, you'll need to use the Eyefinity EHR web application. For more information, see Setting Up Direct Mail (Secure Messaging).
