What is the difference between "Email Notification" and "Secure Messaging"

A comprehensive guide to understanding the difference between "Email Notification" and "Secure Messaging" and how they enhance communication

Email notifications are automated emails sent to notify clients or patients about specific events. These notifications are designed to keep recipients informed and updated on relevant actions or changes.

Secure messaging is a communication method designed to handle sensitive information with the highest level of privacy and security. Unlike standard emails, secure messages are sent directly to the patient’s portal, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations like HIPAA. Secure messaging is ideal for sharing sensitive information, such as test results or medical advice, while ensuring data confidentiality and regulatory compliance.
