Electronic mail provides significant improvements in communications between departments and between individuals anywhere in the hospital. When electronic mail is integrated with the other CPSI modules, the effects and improvements are magnified many times over.

The electronic mail module provides for secure and auditable written communications between a user at any CPSI terminal and any other employee, department, or medical staff member. It eliminates telephone tag, waiting for someone to answer the phone, and misunderstandings and errors common to all oral communications.
