Describe the differences between provider --to--patient e--mail and E--visits
What will be an ideal response?
An E--visit is secure, but E--mail is not.
The E--visit gathers symptom and HPI information and creates a documented medical exam. E-- mail is free text.
When it is integrated with the EHR , the E--visit becomes part of the patient's chart, just like any other visit. It would be difficult for a provider to save an e --mail exchange as part of a patient's EHR record.
E--visits are reimbursed as a legitimate E&M visit; e--mail exchanges are not.
E--mail is directed at a particular individual and therefore is not likely to be accessible by another provider; E--visits can be directed to the "doctor on call," thus allowing practicing partners to share "being on call."
