Change to Secure Chat Message Persistence
Secure Chat is a secure messaging service that allows users to send text and image messages to colleagues in real time. It is the preferred and approved tool for instant messaging within Connect Care. It is an appropriate communication channel for messaging involving personal health information.
To date, messages have been allowed to accrue indefinitely. This presents some users with large message collections. From January 14, 2021, messages older than 30 days will be automatically purged, even if part of a multi-message string. This is appropriate since messages are meant to support short-term communications that do not need to be part of the record of care. Once a message is purged, it cannot be recovered.
