filing a record using a protocol

Explanation

E-mail can be used to schedule doctor appointments when it is an approved method and patient privacy is protected. Coding medical records according to company policy and filing records according to protocol are also appropriate uses of technology and established procedures. A personal phone or personal e-mail should not be used to communicate about patients because those channels may not protect confidential health information.
