Secure messaging with patients and pharmacies

Updated Sep 10, 2026Not yet verified against the current release

Messages holds two kinds of thread: one per patient, and one per order with the pharmacy filling it. Patients can only message their own practice; pharmacies and practices talk about orders, not about patients directly.

  • Start a thread from the patient record or with + New message.
  • A patient message stays unread until someone in the practice replies or archives it, so nothing slips.
  • Patients are emailed when you reply, without the message content.
