Nurses should use emails to communicate non-urgent matters, share information, and coordinate care. It is important to follow the [HIPAA guidelines]() to protect patient privacy and confidentiality. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Subject Lines: Use clear and specific subject lines to indicate the content of the email. 2. Professional Language: Maintain a professional tone and avoid using slang or informal language. 3. Confidentiality: Do not include sensitive patient information unless using secure, encrypted email systems. 4. Timeliness: Respond to emails promptly to ensure effective communication.
