Email continues to be a very popular communication method for patients. With Artera, emails can be sent from Automations, Broadcasts, Campaigns, or directly through the Patient Channel.
Value of Email
You can send both secure emails (PHI) and unsecure emails (general communication)
Patients can respond directly from their email inbox
Some patients prefer email over text-message
Smart Phrases, Quick Responses, and Attachments can be sent through email, similar to text messaging
Manual Messaging with Email
Let’s review how to send an email from the Patient Channel with Manual Messaging.
Email Availability
In order to send manual emails to patients:
There must be an email associated with the patient in Artera;
The patient must be verified; and
The Allow Email Default Setting must be enabled for the Enterprise.
Sending an Email
Navigate to the Patient’s Channel and compose your email using the appropriate Smart Phrases and determine if the email should be sent secured.
Next, click the arrow icon by the Send Text button.
Select the patient's email address.
Click Send Email.
The message has an envelope icon within the Patient Channel, and the Subject is automatically generated with the following details: “New Message from [Enterprise Name] - [Sent Date].”
Emailing a patient automatically sets email as the default communication method for the next 24 hours.
If the patient sends an Inbound Message through email or text, the Send button will default to the communication method last used by a patient for the next three days.
Unable to Send Email?
If a patient has the Texting Allowed toggled set to Off, you will not be able to manually email the patient. However, they can still receive emails through Automations, Broadcasts, or Campaigns. If you would like to know more about how email is delivered to patients through Automations, you can review the Truth Tables in the Patient Contact Preferences Synced and Patient Contact Preferences Not Synced articles.
NOTE: If an email message fails to deliver to a patient, Artera will not attempt to redeliver the email message.

Unsecure Message
Patients can easily reply to unsecure emails from Artera as they normally would respond to any email. The patient's response will be stored in their Patient Channel within Artera.
Secure Message
In order to view and respond to secure emails, patients will have to log into Artera by verifying their information. The Patient Sign-In Security setting can be adjusted by Enterprise Users in Default Settings.
