Secure Messaging is intended for questions of an administrative nature (appointment requests, prescription renewals and general questions), which the physician’s staff may handle. Online Consultation™ is for posing non-urgent clinical questions/concerns to the physician. Online Consultation™ allows physicians to add links directing patients to Medem’s Medical Library of medical society-provided content; offers integrated charge capture/billing; and features other tools that make secure online communications safer, more comprehensive, and more convenient for both patients and physicians.
