Email and Text Messaging Consent


TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE USE OF E-MAIL AND TEXT MESSAGING COMMUNICATIONS

 

I agree to the following terms and conditions for the use of e-mail and text messaging (and other rules that may be added and provided to me from time to time):

  • All e-mail and text message communication will be included in the patient’s medical record.
  • White House Clinics cannot guarantee that any e-mail or text message will be read and responded to within a specific timeframe. The typical timeframe for response is less than one business day, however it may take 1 week or longer if the person to whom the e-mail/text message is sent is away or if the email system/mobile network is not working. Therefore, e-mail and text messaging should not be used for medical or mental health emergencies or other matters that require an urgent response.
  • If the patient has not received a response within a reasonable time period, it is the patient’s
    responsibility to call White House Clinics in order to determine whether the intended recipient receivedthe e-mail and when the recipient will respond.
  • The patient or parent/guardian should not use e-mail or text messages to discuss any subjects that the patient or parent/guardian feels should be kept confidential, including any sensitive medical information regarding sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS/HIV, mental health, developmental disability or substance use.
  • Where applicable, you may see a charge from your insurance for the time necessary for the physician to respond to the electronic communication.
  • It is the patient’s responsibility to protect the mobile device from being used or viewed by others. The patient or parent/guardian is responsible for protecting his/her password or other means of access to e-mail or text messaging. White House Clinics is not liable for information read by other people.
  • It is the responsibility of the patient/guardian to inform White House Clinics of any change in e-mail or text messaging addresses.
  • A White House Clinics provider, in his or her own discretion, may determine that a telephone call or office visit is more appropriate for communication with the patient. If a White House Clinic’s provider determines that an office visit is necessary of if the patient wants an office visit, it is the patient’s responsibility to call to schedule an appointment.
  • Standard text message rates may apply.
  • Consent to Electronic Communications may be withdrawn by e-mail or written communication to White House Clinics.

Best Practice Utilization for E-mail Communication:

  • When initiating e-mail communication include the patient’s full name and date of birth in the
    body of the first e-mail message and not in the subject line to ensure that White House Clinics
    staff are in communication with the correct person.
  • Include the category for the communication in the e-mail’s subject line, (e.g. “I have a laboratory test question”) to ensure that the electronic communication can be forwarded to the
    appropriate person instance.
