    Organizations implement settings to ensure an email message is not spoofed; and nowhere is effective email communication more important than in healthcare where patients receive vital information, such as test results and other health-related updates.

    • How to avoid having emails to patients blocked by ISPs
    • What to do when a service provider does block emails
    • The importance of making sure an organization is notified in a timely manner when messages are flagged as spam (feedback loops)

    Too often, we see compliance as an adversarial process. We know that compliance is imperfect, but articulating the challenges is difficult. However, we can develop models for more appropriate compliance, while appreciating those limitations. Further, it is even possible that we can learn to appreciate compliance as an enabler to our organization’s core mission.
