An aging, more chronically ill population, tighter reimbursement rules, pay-for-performance and a nursing shortage are all bearing down on the United States healthcare system.  Providers need technology that helps handle more patients despite the tighter workforce, and at a lower cost.

Additionally, some providers are so inundated with the management of incoming and outgoing records on a daily basis that precious time is often wasted.  EMRs are only a partial solution, Sfax internet faxing with digital signature can help bridge the gap.  Furthermore, in an environment where patient privacy is regulated by HIPAA, providers are constantly looking for ways to protect their patient’s rights.

Some questions to think about when review your fax policies and fax solutions:

• Is the fax machine in a supervised area, off limits to unauthorized persons and its use restricted to authorized personnel only?
• When sending documents, do all users complete a cover sheet which indicates the sender's and receiver's names, addresses and telephone numbers? 
• When confidential materials are sent, is notice of their confidential nature indicated on the cover sheet? 
• Do users always check the receiver's telephone number before transmitting documents? Do users compare the number displayed with number being called to check for errors? Do users check the transmission report after the fax has been sent? 
• When transmitting confidential materials, is the recipient notified in advance that the document is being sent? Does the sender check with the receiver to make sure the document has been received?
