Answer to Question 1

An E--visit is secure, but E--mail is not.

The E--visit gathers symptom and HPI information and creates a documented medical exam. E-- mail is free text.

When it is integrated with the EHR , the E--visit becomes part of the patient's chart, just like any other visit. It would be difficult for a provider to save an e --mail exchange as part of a patient's EHR record.

E--visits are reimbursed as a legitimate E&M visit; e--mail exchanges are not.

E--mail is directed at a particular individual and therefore is not likely to be accessible by another provider; E--visits can be directed to the doctor on call, thus allowing practicing partners to share being on call.
