This office uses text messaging to communicate with patients regarding scheduling and to allow communication with nurses and doctors. These messages could contain personal health information (PHI) and other confidential information. While any electronic communication can be intercepted, text messages (SMS) are not encrypted, and thus information is easier to obtain if these messages are intercepted.

To mitigate the risk of accidental release of PHI or interception of PHI by a third party, you have the option not to participate in the text message communication service. By choosing to participate in the text message communication service, you are acknowledging and assuming the increased risk of interception or release of PHI.
