Physicians | Email (Outlook), Teams, Office
Do Physicians get email?
That depends on the hospital. When Physicians, Physician Assistants, or Nurse practitioners are onboarded, there is an option for the requester to choose to request an email license.
Why should I request email for Physicians?
The most obvious reason is communication. Other than email, physicians may want to use Microsoft Teams for communication which is HIPAA compliant.
Can Physicians put email and/or Teams on their personal phones?
Yes! As long as they are enrolled in Duo.
Is there a cost for the license?
Yes. Your hospital pays for the license. We use a subscription-based license. The cost depends on the type of license. Most Physicians will have a Web (F3) license. It costs about four dollars a month.
What do you get with the license?
The F3 license is a web license of Office. This includes your normal applications such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Teams, and more. These apps can be access from the app launcher from the Landing. The app launcher is located in the upper left corner of the browser and looks like a waffle menu (a bunch of dots.)
Can Physicians use email and Teams for communication?
Yes. It is considered HIPAA compliant.
