Request for Patient’s Agreement about Risks of Communicating via Email
Thank you for your note. Before I respond, I want to be sure that you are aware of and accept the risks of conveying personal information via the internet. For example, if you email me from an email work address, there is the possibility that others at work may be able to view your inquiry and my response. There are other ways that hackers can get access to your and my messages.
If you would like me to respond to your inquiry, please reply to this email stating that you understand that there are confidentiality risks when communicating by email and that you are willing to accept them. Furthermore, you will not hold me responsible if there is any breach of confidentiality related to your or my email messages to each other.
I would also like to be sure that you are clear that if I respond to your inquiry, I will not be taking any medical responsibility for making a diagnosis or treating you since I have never examined you or taken a medical history.
If this is agreeable to you, please reply to this email stating “I agree to the above”.
