Re: Secure Email

[Jason Baack <baack () MAINE EDU>]

On a similar vein, the health center at the University of Maine uses a
secure web based application
based out of California, relayhealth.com.

This system allows for secure messages, online pt. history, med
refills, appointment requests and other features.
The patient (student) is emailed via traditional-unsecured email to let
them know that they have messages waiting on the system, and provides a
 https URL for them to log in and manage their information.

More information is here:
