Last week, DirectTrust announced a 14 percent increase in healthcare organizations leveraging direct secure messages in the second quarter of 2022. This translates into more than 260 million direct secure messages being sent and received.

Overall, direct exchange transactions, since DirectTrust began tracking transactions in 2014, have reached nearly 3.3 billion at the end of the second quarter – an average of more than 75 million transactions per month.

According to EHR Intelligence, the end of Q2 metrics also revealed that the number of consumers using direct secure messaging increased one percent to more than 668,000, compared with the same quarter last year.

“We’re delighted to note the continued steady growth in transactions since we began tracking these in 2014, along with the continuing increase in the number of organizations served by direct secure messaging,” Scott Stuewe, DirectTrust president and CEO, noted in a press release. “We attribute the growth in the number of organizations using direct secure messaging to ongoing adoption in the post-acute market.”

This announcement comes right before the Civitas Networks for Health 2022 Annual Conference, a Collaboration with the DirectTrust Summit, which takes place August 21st to 24th in San Antonio.
