Email on Demand is now live on MediRecords!
Enhance your communication workflow with Email on Demand –
MediRecords' latest feature!
We are excited to share that Email on Demand is now live on the MediRecords platform! This new feature allows our users to send emails directly from MediRecords, removing the need to download files or switch between applications. By using our new email solution, users can streamline their communications, save resources, and have more time for patient-focused care.
Users can now access Email on Demand from the Universal Communications Bar, which is located at the top right-hand corner of the MediRecords platform. When users click on the email icon, they will see a pop-up window where they can compose and send an email. Users can also attach documents from MediRecords files or from their local device.
When using Email on Demand within a patient record, users can simply tick the checkbox to Select Current Patient, and the Recipient and Regarding fields will be automatically filled with the applicable details.
Email on Demand is a useful feature that helps to optimise workflows and efficiency with benefits including:
- Emailing clinic rosters and staff updates to internal practice users
- Sending attachments to patients such as a Health Summary, Care Plan, prescriptions, medical certificates, and education resources.
- Sending multiple document attachments to external healthcare professionals, regarding a specific patient.

A sent email will be logged as a Task in the Activities screen, and within the Patient’s Activities tab. This entry will include comprehensive details of the email, including all recipient and patient information, and even whether a file was attached or not, to provide peace of mind that your email went to the right place, and that you didn’t forget to attach that document.
