2. Type the first few letters of your recipient’s first name, last name, email address or company/organization name in the To: field (do not enter title information such as “Dr.” or “Mr.”). The system will suggest colleague’s names and pictures (if available) after entering at least three letters. The results will be reduced as more characters are entered.

If your recipient is not found, you can still send them a Secure Mail message. For more information For more information on sending Secure Mail messages to traditional email addresses
Enter a Subject for the message.
Note: Secure Mail requires that a subject line be entered before sending the message. By default the subject line will only appear within the Secure portion of the email unless you have changed the setting in your profile to display the Subject in the non-secure email portion also. See ‘How to edit your personal profile in SecureMail to find out more.
3. Composing the Message: Notice that there are two text entry boxes for the body of the message to your colleague.
- The top box Email Message is the notification that will be delivered to the recipient's regular email and therefore is not secure. The purpose of this section is to notify the recipient that they have received a message from you. Along with the text you enter in this section, the system will include a link directing the recipient to log into Secure Mail to access the secure portion of your Secure Mail message to them.
- The lower box Secure Mail Message is the section of the Secure Mail message where patient data may be included. The text entered in the Secure Mail box and the attachments are only visible inside of the Secure Mail inbox and therefore are secure and compliant. Include in this area, whatever message and information (including patient info) you wish to send to your colleague(s).
Secure Mail recommends only entering Protected Health Information (PHI), such as name, date of birth and medical condition in the Secure Mail section
