Digitization, increasing data volumes, and a continually expanding international network \u2014 the use of innovative communication technologies should speed up workflows in labs, doctors’ offices and hospitals, while making life easier for doctors and patients as well as reducing operating costs. To ensure that the patient receives the right treatment in time, it is essential that lab results – often several dozen pages in length – reach the intended recipient quickly and securely. In many countries, the handling of personal data is also subject to stringent requirements, which regulate email transmission strictly.<\/p>\n
That is why there is no better communication channel than fax for the reliable and secure transmission of sensitive healthcare documents. Until recently, labs have been using their own infrastructures for this. The problem is that fax servers are costly<\/a>, and require a high level of maintenance and administrative effort. They also cause interface problems and result in cross-media disruption. As data volumes continue to rise, classic fax machines also require large quantities of paper, which poses an additional security risk when faxing doctor reports<\/a> or prescriptions in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n With HIPAA compliant cloud fax services<\/a>, healthcare companies can ensure that sensitive information does not fall into the wrong hands. When choosing a new service provider, healthcare companies should make sure, that the services fulfill their requirements for secure transmission of personal data and are operated in highly secure data centers.
