DIRECT Secure Email is a secure, encrypted web-based communication system for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers to share protected health information (PHI) with providers outside of their organization.
Regular e-mail, fax, or snail mail involves the inherent risks of information being compromised or accessed by unauthorized users. Direct messaging is HIPAA-compliant and mitigates these risks by providing an easy way for health care providers to securely share patient information electronically with providers who are outside of their internal system.
