Networked Behaviors Associated With a Large-Scale Secure Messaging Network: Cross-Sectional Secondary Data Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Communication among health care professionals is essential for effective clinical care. Asynchronous text-based clinician communication-secure messaging-is rapidly becoming the preferred mode of communication. The use of secure messaging platforms across health care institutions creates large-scale communication networks that can be used to characterize how interaction structures affect the behaviors and outcomes of network members.

Objective

This study investigates the characteristics of a large-scale secure messaging network and its association with health care professional messaging behaviors.
