Cryptic encodings are to be avoided. Lengthy messages containing excessiveamounts of unnecessarily detailed information are also to be avoided. Most communicationdevice displays are limited in size. Long messages requires scrolling to review the entiremessage before acting upon it to make sure that no pertinent information is missed.Additionally the information, if sent to an endpoint communication device which lacksauthentication and encryption should be examined to avoid sending electronic patient healthcareinformation over such a connection and thereby exposing patient information.__________________________________________________________________________31Rev. 1.3– 2012-08-16Copyright © 2012: IHE International, Inc.
