Patient verification

To make keeping in touch easier, we are starting to use email to communicate appointment information and test results with our patients.

We want to make sure we are sending information to the correct email address and that our patients are happy for us to communicate with them by email.

To do this, we are in the process of emailing all patients to confirm that the email address we have on file for them is correct and that they are happy for us to communicate health information with them via email.

The email will come from donotreply@emailverification.adhb.govt.nz

If you get one of our emails please respond to us. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us at Data Quality or check our frequently asked questions below.

Thanks for your help!

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the email is not SPAM?

The genuine verification request from Te Whatu Ora | Te Toka Tumai Auckland will ONLY come from donotreply@emailverification.adhb.govt.nz

How long do I get to respond?

We would appreciate your response as soon as possible.  If you accidentally delete the email, don’t worry, we will send you two further reminders. You will have three weeks to respond.

What happens if I lose the email you sent me?

If you lose the email, don’t worry we will send you two more reminders. If for some reason, you can't find any of the emails you can talk one of our receptionists next time you're in and ask them to update your information. Alternatively, you can email us at dataquality@adhb.govt.nz

What will happen if I don’t answer?

If you do not respond to the first email, we will send two further reminders. If we don’t hear from you after that we will assume the email address we have on record is not accurate and we’ll continue to contact you by post.

Do I have to agree to you communicating with me by email?
