How does basic E-mail work?
 Basic e-mail - such as Hotmail, Yahoo or
Sympatico accounts are unprotected e-mail
accounts.
• Mail can be intercepted and read by others as it
moves across the public Internet.
• Think of basic e-mail as you would a postcard –
your information could be available to prying eyes.
• You should never send personal information in an
unsecured e-mail.

How will ONE Mail help me?
 Share personal health information with other
ONE Mail users, knowing the information is
fully protected.
• Access management
• Faster transport
• Cost effective
 It gives you the confidence that the person to
whom you send a message is actually the
person listed – and nobody else.
 It lets you send personal health information
electronically, allowing faster access to
information to make clinical decisions.
 Reduced costs of alternative forms of
communication such as faxing and couriering.
17
Collaborate securely anywhere
and anytime
 ONE Mail is a communication tool
providing the ability to transfer
patient information to other
healthcare partners (providing they
are also participating in ONE Mail) in
cases where faxes or couriers had
previously been used.
 Now is a perfect time to think through
current information flow processes for
ways to become more efficient and
secure through the use of ONE Mail.

Security Tip
Copies of e-mails or attachments saved on your computer
are outside of the ONE Mail system. Therefore:
It is your responsibility to protect saved
copies with sensitive content as you would
protect paper records.
Follow all privacy and security guidelines
and legislation when sending personal health
information by e-mail, just as you would when
faxing or couriering paper documents.
19
Summary of ONE Mail
 ONE Mail provides secure e-mail to you
and other participating partners.
 You must ensure that the recipient’s email address is listed in the ONE Pages
(Global Address Book) when sending
sensitive information.
 You are responsible for the security/
privacy of personal health information.
 Any messages/attachments saved on your
computer are your responsibility. Treat
electronic records as you would paper
