DocbookMD now includes your staff
TMA’s HIPAA-secure, mobile communi- cation app DocbookMD (www.texmed .org/docbookmd) historically has been accessible only to physicians. However, due to physician demand
for secure communication with their medical staff, the platform is now open to all members of the care team, with the physician still at the center of the communication. With the latest app up- date, physicians can invite their nurses, physician assistants, and other staff members to join them on DocbookMD through the new Care Team feature. More than ever, those caring directly for patients must be able to connect ef- ficiently and securely. To coordinate care, all members of the team must be able to communicate effectively with each other, while still complying with security and privacy laws. DocbookMD now allows everyone involved in a patient’s care to send and receive messages, including images such as x-rays and electrocardio- grams and images of wounds or rashes, to any physician who has invited them to be a part of his or her Care Team.
