Messaging

Veridian Motion includes secure clinician-to-patient messaging — an append-only thread inside the application. It supports follow-up after assessment without SMS, email, or external links.
Messaging is monitored, append-only, and part of the medical record. Safety screening applies to message content — see below.

Design rules

Message safety screening

Patient ↔ clinician messages are screened for safety before delivery:
This is operational safety screening for secure messaging in a correctional healthcare workflow — not a psychiatric or behavioral-health assessment module and not AI emotional support.

Communication Record

An admin-only, immutable Communication Record captures messaging threads for records or legal use:
  • Exportable to PDF
  • Every access to the Communication Record is recorded in the hash-chained audit log
  • warden and pt roles do not access the Communication Record by default

Who can message

Typical workflow

1

Clinician sends a message

The PT sends a plain-language message in the secure thread. Content passes safety screening.
2

Patient responds on kiosk

The patient reads and replies during a supervised session. Replies are screened and append-only.
3

Escalation if needed

If screening triggers escalation, facility staff follow custody and clinical protocols — the platform does not dispatch emergency services.
4

Records access

An admin may export the Communication Record to PDF when authorized; access is audit-logged.

What messaging is not

  • Not live chat — asynchronous only
  • Not video or phone
  • Not external email
  • Not a psychological or mood assessment tool

Audit

Message sends and Communication Record access are recorded in the hash-chained audit log (action type and resource ID — not message body in audit payload). See Data model & privacy.
