Provider sends reminder for preventive or follow-up care to the patient
Story
Perspective: A provider sends a care reminder (e.g., for preventive or follow-up care) to the patient
Context: The provider has validated the patient's identity and has the patient's Health Internet Address. The provider has determined that it is legally and clinically appropriate to release PHI. The patient has indicated a preference to receive reminders electronically.
Story: The provider generates a care reminder (perhaps as supported by the EHR). The provider sends the reminder to the address provided by the patient.
The patient verifies that she owns the address, authenticates, and views the reminder.
