all reports go to dedicated mail boxes (one per doctor) which are polled automatically and the results land in a common "inbox" within our EHR program. Reports not checked same day will be open for grabs by all other doctors next day. Other clinical email (= email that needs human attendance) is explicitely discouraged - but all doctors can access their respective clinical mailboxes (again one dedicated email address per doctor for this purpose) via webmail at any time (because these email accounts are NOT for personal use) We have no policy of checking however - because we discourage such email. It should all happen via automatically importable "reports" in PIT or HL7 format vi machine-read mailboxes.
