TelmedIQ - Secure Communication Software

Methodist University Hospital has adopted a comprehensive communication product named TelmedIQ. It is a secure texting solution that will enable you to connect with other physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other clinical team members to coordinate efficient, patient-centered care. All physicians are required to utilize TelmedIQ while at Methodist, and you should ensure you are logged in, the application is functioning appropriately, and your availability status is accurate (similar to the concept of ensuring you have your pager with you and turned on when you are on call).

You can download the TelmedIQ application for Android or iOS in your respective mobile application repository. If you visit http://tmiq.it/, get you will be directed to the correct application. Information about how to log on and basic support can be found at http://tmiq.it/mlh, but the most important information is your login credentials. Your login email is based on your Cerner username with the domain "@methodisthealth.org" following. For example, Jane Doe's TelmedIQ login would be jd123456r@methodisthealth.org. Your password is the same as your Methodist Cerner password.

You will receive more information and training at orientation. You can also visit https://support.telmediq.com for additional videos and information if desired.
