Q. Can I use email to send patient identifiable clinical information?

A. Documents sent by normal email are not secure and can be accessed inappropriately by others before reaching their intended recipients. Healthmail, secure clinical email, is a HSE service that allows exchange of patient-identifiable clinical information between GPs and HSE clinicians and between GPs and voluntary, maternity and children's hospitals. Healthmail is suitable for the electronic exchange of patient-identifiable clinical information, including attachments.
