Electronic health records (EHRs) have transformed how healthcare providers manage patient information. These digital platforms offer fast, organized, and secure ways to store and access patient data. But there’s one area where many providers still rely on legacy technology: faxing.
Despite the rise of digital tools, faxing remains a required form of communication across the healthcare system. Many providers continue to use traditional fax machines to send and receive patient referrals, lab results, insurance forms, and more.
Notifyre Fax For EHR Software
Notifyre solves this problem with it's secure online fax service that can be integrated with EHR software. With Notifyre’s RESTful Fax API, you can send and receive faxes directly from your EHR or EMR system, no physical fax machine needed.
Why Faxing Still Matters in Healthcare
Faxing might seem outdated, but in healthcare, it’s still very common. Why? Because not all providers or systems are digitally connected. Some healthcare facilities, insurance companies, and pharmacies still require or prefer documents sent by fax.
That means even modern digital clinics need a way to fax.
However, using traditional fax machines comes with many downsides:
No encryption – Fax machines can’t securely transmit data.
Limited tracking – You don’t always know if the fax went through.
Manual errors – Staff must print, scan, and feed documents manually.
HIPAA risks – Sending sensitive data without proper security can lead to violations.
By replacing physical machines with digital fax for EHR systems, healthcare providers can save time, reduce errors, and better protect patient data.
5 Benefits of Fax Integrations for EHR/EMR Systems
Notifyre’s RESTful Fax API offers healthcare teams a simple way to fax from EHR platforms. Here’s how:
Seamless Automation: Build custom workflows that send and receive faxes automatically - no printing, scanning, or waiting.
Higher Security: All faxes are encrypted and compliant with HIPAA and ISO 27001 standards.
Improved Reliability: Get real-time delivery updates and access logs to ensure every fax reaches the right destination.
Lower Costs: No need to maintain fax machines, buy paper, or pay for phone lines.
Better User Experience: Clinicians and staff can send faxes without leaving the EHR platform they already use.
