Adding an Email to Receive Patient Message Notifications

Customize where email notifications should be sent when a patient has viewed a secure message and/or completed a form.

  • By default, alerts are sent to the email address associated with the message sender’s Ocean user account.
  • If you would like to change the default email or add additional emails to receive alerts, you can update the "Clinical Delegate Emails" by following the instructions below.
  1. Navigate to the My Account page

    • The My Account page can be accessed by clicking your name at the top right-hand corner of the Ocean Portal. 
  1. Update the Clinical Delegate Email field

    • Within your User Settings, locate the Clinical Delegate Emails field. Enter the email addresses that should receive notifications of patient responses and/or form completions. You can list multiple email addresses by separating each address using a comma.
    • After you are finished your updates, ensure you press Save Changes in the bottom right corner of the page.

Patient Message Notifications for Removed Users & Patient Reminders

If a user who sent a Patient Message is subsequently removed from your Ocean Site, any email notifications related to the messages that they sent prior to their removal will be directed to the 'Clinical Administrator / Ocean Support Contact' email address(es) set within the Site Account area of your Ocean Site.

Similarly, when a Patient Reminder is automatically sent to a patient and subsequently generates email notifications (e.g., regarding eForm completions or patient replies), any associated email notification(s) will always be sent to the 'Clinical Administrator / Ocean Support Contact' email address(es) set within the Site Account area of your Ocean Site.
