Intramail system

Send an internal email using a system that is safe and secure. You will receive a notification when mail arrives, and you can link a message to a patient's record and add the message to a patient's history.

Overview

You can open Intramail from the Zedmed Office landing page by pressing F7. Users are notified if they have unread emails when they log in or refresh the Waiting Room list (for doctors in their rooms). The number of unread Intramails for a user will appear in the bottom left corner of the main menu.

In Office, a notification will pop up when you have new mail. In Clinical, Intramail notifications will appear when you log in and out. Popups don't appear in Clinical to avoid interruption during consultations, but you will see unread Intramail in the Clinical notification bar on the bottom left.
