:This service enables Direct messaging functionality integrated directly into OpenEMR. Users can send CCDs and receive Direct messages, with or without attachments. OpenEMR communicates with an EMR Direct phiMail Direct messaging server to complete the transactions. The phiMail server software can be installed on the same server hosting your OpenEMR installation or on another machine in your secure environment if you wish to operate as your own standalone Direct STA (Security and Trust Agent), with no messaging intermediary. Alternatively, support companies currently serving the OpenEMR community may install one or more phiMail servers on their network to become a Direct Messaging HISP (Health Information Service Provider) to any number of OpenEMR customer installations via the secure OpenEMR-to-phiMail edge-client channel.
