As the Health and Social Care Information Centre have suggested, “it is right that local organisations are given the flexibility to choose systems that best suit local clinical and patient needs.”, and that the use of emails and apps could be a cheaper way to replace the use of the Email-to-SMS service.
Email is already prevalent within the NHS in both NHSmail and Exchange Server. With the email volume set to increase further as the use of SMS diminishes it becomes ever more important to address email management issues.
If NHS organisations want to focus on email as their standard medium of communication, adopting Mailsafe to help improve the site’s email management should be the next step because it offers Outlook Archiving, PST Discovery, can act as an ‘extension’ to a users’ mailbox keeping them below their NHSmail quota limit and it also offers a Web App, where all staff can access to their entire history of emails away from the office.
Mailsafe also removes the headache of migration; it can sweep up all emails into the archive allowing the smoother transition into a new email environment. All of these features combine into one robust email management suite which can act as a primary form of communication for any NHS site.
