Remotely diagnosing conditions and providing prescriptions using a multi-access health care provider portal

A computer system comprising the following:

• one or more processors;
• system memory;
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to:
• access a user defined-communication policy,
• receive an indication of a transmission location from which the message will be transmitted;
• determine that the transmission location is referenced within the user defined-communication policy;
• based upon the reference to the transmission location within the user defined-communication policy, determine that the message is to be encrypted;
• receive, at a receiving module, the encrypted message that includes message content intended for a specified healthcare entity;
• receive, at the receiving module, an input defining at least one compliance parameter, wherein the input is generated as a result of user selection of one or more user-selectable options;
• determine, with the one or more processors, that the encrypted message was received as part of an established session between the secure messaging service and a user-side instance of a messenger application;
• transmit, with a transmission module, the encrypted message to the specified healthcare entity, the encrypted message being accessible by the specified healthcare entity via an instance of the messenger application;
• and
• process at least one of the at least one compliance parameters.

A method, implemented at a computer system including at least a processor, a transmitter or receiver and a memory, for securely messaging a healthcare entity, the method comprising:

• accessing a user defined-communication policy,
• receiving an indication of a transmission location from which the message will be transmitted;
• determining that the transmission location is referenced within the user defined-communication policy;
• based upon the reference to the transmission location within the user defined-communication policy, determining that the message is to be encrypted;
• receiving at a receiving module, the encrypted message that includes message content intended for a specified healthcare entity;
• receiving, at the receiving module, an input indicating that the encrypted message is to perish automatically upon being read by the specified healthcare entity, wherein the input is generated as a result of user selection of one or more user-selectable options, including an option to have the message perish automatically after being received and read by the healthcare entity such that the message is readable by the healthcare entity but is not stored;
• determining that the encrypted message was received as part of an established session between the secure messaging service and a user-side instance of a messenger application;
• and
• transmitting the encrypted message to the specified healthcare entity, the encrypted message being accessible by the specified healthcare entity via an instance of the messenger application.
