Communicating with patients by e-mail has become a part of many physicians medical practice. It ranks high in patient satisfaction, and at least one study found it to be associated with better patient compliance and better control of chronic conditions. However, there are many confounding factors to this enhancement in care. These include integration with the paper or electronic medical record, implementing new kinds of e-security, workflow changes, and the lack of reimbursement for physician time spent on these communications. There are recommendations designed to protect physicians from liability issues, but evidence is lacking that physicians are employing them. The purpose of this short activity is to give busy practitioners a thumbnail sketch of available guidelines, identify the most glaring issues, and point the learner to additional resources on the subject.
