Secure Messaging

LIPIX offers a secure web-based solution for communicating patient-specific clinical information between clinicians that does not rely on, but typically leverages, existing email accounts.   This service utilizes the core LIPIX infrastructure and allows clinicians to link secure messages to the relevant community-based patient record available through LIPIX. 

Secure Messaging can be a valuable tool for a number of clinical communication situations:

• Outpatient referral
• Specialist consultation request
• Transfer of patient between care providing organizations
• Patient admission to an ER or hospital
• Information transfer for patient follow up

The LIPIX Secure Messaging upon a RHIO Foundation (SMURF) Solution is built with the most modern technologies and functions in an analogous manner to many social / business networking websites.  These sites enable a user to securely interact with other members of a network thru the medium of their email accounts and the World Wide Web.  The similarity of the LIPIX solution to sites like Facebook, MySpace or LinkedIn enables rapid adoption and the comfort of familiarity for many physicians.
