Even though data regulations have gained more importance in recent years with higher consumer awareness and sharper penalties, the healthcare industry still has much more to worry about than most traditional businesses.

Faxes are often legally binding documents, while email is typically not. As a result, legal offices are reticent to make a switch from faxing to online communications.

GFI FaxMaker review by Nuno Mota from TechGenix

In this paper, we’ll examine why faxing persists in healthcare, the limitations of paper-based faxing (which remains the dominant form of faxing), and the benefits of digital faxing to overcome those limitations.

It is estimated that about 75 per cent of all medical communications happen by fax. Healthcare providers and institutions need to be aware of the ongoing security and compliance issues related to sharing health information and faxing, and to plan accordingly.

Faxing has many reasons why it will continue to be a fixture in healthcare information systems for some time. However, there is no reason why it must continue to be a manual or physical process involving paper being fed into a machine by a trained professional.

While some people believe that email-only is the easiest form of communication, electronic faxing can give you the best of both worlds. Through software-based faxing, businesses can have all of the benefits of this older technology updated for the modern Internet age.

Rather than ignoring fax, TechGenix initiated this study to shed more light on fax technology, to gain understanding from the organizations, companies and individuals using it.
