Direct Secure Messaging (DSM)
As part of the assessment and monitoring of Direct Secure Messaging (DSM), these tabs provide dashboards that track information about DSM adoption by users and organizations.
Direct Secure Messaging (DSM) is a secure email service that leverages standards created by the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology. These provide specifications for a simple, secure, scalable, and standards-based transportation mechanism that enables participants to send (push) encrypted health information directly to known, trusted recipients over the Internet. DSM allows providers and other approved healthcare users to securely send and receive email messages and attachments (up to 10 MB) containing a patient's clinical data. It also provides a mailbox storage size of 1GB. DSM is accessible via a web browser (Internet Explorer 8, Safari, or Firefox 3.6).
