Medispatch is a proposal for a service to provide an unmet medical need for secure universal communication between patients and their health care providers or facilities. The features of the service are security through encryption, authentication of the sender and receiver of information, and non-repudiation of the information. Through a simple e-mail interface, it will be possible to integrate the patient's medical record for the patient, their designated health care providers, and the pharmacies that fill their prescriptions. The provision of this service as a stand-alone service that can be easily integrated into any medical information services that already exist within a hospital, clinic, medical office, ambulatory surgery center, etc., is designed to allow such facilities to effectively outsource the administrative burden of this important mode of patient communication while maintaining security and HIPAA compliance. Built-in limitations with respect to storage of information and forwarding information from the service are designed to enhance the security of the service.
