1. A computer program product for implementing a method for securely messaging a healthcare entity, the computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computerize-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform the method, the method comprising:

  • providing to a user a menu of one or more user-selectable options, the user-selectable options including an option to have a message perish automatically after being received and read by a specified healthcare entity such that the message is readable by the specified healthcare entity but is not stored;

    receiving an input from the user indicating that the message is to be securely transmitted to the specified healthcare entity, wherein the message is part of a conversation between the user and the specified healthcare entity;

    prior to transmission of the message;

    adding an indicator to the message to indicate that the message is to perish automatically upon being read by the healthcare entity,accessing a user defined-communication policy,receiving an indication of a transmission location from which the message will be transmitted, wherein the indication of the transmission location is generated by a global positioning system (GPS) hardware radio;

    determining that the transmission location is referenced within the user defined-communication policy;

    based upon the reference to the transmission location within the user defined-communication policy, determining that the message is to be encrypted;

    upon determining that the message is to be encrypted, the one or more processors encrypting the message using at least one encryption algorithm, such that the message is encrypted during the transfer from the user to the specified healthcare entity;

    upon determining an identity of the specified healthcare entity, overriding the automatic perishing of the message; and

    initiating transmission of the encrypted message such that the encrypted message is sent to the specified healthcare entity.
