Doctors and online fax

Hello! I work in a medical office where fax is still used daily for referrals and patient records. I’m curious whether switching to online fax actually improves security and helps with privacy requirements, or if it’s mostly about convenience.

Hello! I looked into this because we had the same discussion at work and found a clear explanation in this article: www.itsecurityguru.org/2025/01/22/is-onl...ng-you-need-to-know/ It explains that online fax services usually encrypt documents and restrict access, which is important for healthcare teams dealing with sensitive data. I also learned that features like delivery confirmation and access logs can help with HIPAA-related accountability. That said, it’s still important how staff handle documents after they arrive.
