Implementing an Online Fax Solution in Your Medical Practice

Do you have a traditional fax machine in your medical practice? Use it daily to send and receive patient information and other sensitive documents? You’re not the only one.  

While the rest of the world has moved onto adopting more advanced technology like cloud-based online faxing services, healthcare organisatins of all shapes and sizes around the world continue to send and receive sensitive patient intomation using the traditional fax machine.  

A 2019-2020 TigerConnect report on The State of Healthcare Communications found that approximately 90% of healthcare organisations and medical practices are still using fax machines.

The report states that ‘...healthcare has fallen behind other industries when it comes to utilizing modern forms of communication. This broken state of communication in healthcare has downstream impacts on operations, employee burnout, patient outcomes, and much more.’
