Fax remains a relevant technology for businesses for several reasons: it can communicate complex information securely through point-to-point transmission; it is embedded in many existing business processes; and fax transmissions provide legal proof of delivery through traceable logs of sent and received documents.
The document discusses the HIPAA conduit exception and requirements for cloud fax providers and their customers when transmitting protected health information (PHI). It notes that the conduit exception is narrow and does not apply to entities that regularly exchange PHI. Any cloud fax provider that transmits PHI is considered a business associate under HIPAA and must sign a business associate agreement (BAA), otherwise neither the provider nor its customer are compliant. It emphasizes that selecting the "conduit setting" does not make a cloud fax provider HIPAA compliant if it regularly handles PHI and fails to have proper security, storage, and auditing policies in place.
Faxing remains one of the most common methods for securely exchanging health information, but using a fax machine requires time, paper, and patience. And in spite of the drive to digital information in healthcare, offices still use fax machines.
This SlideShare will talk about an alternative to fax machines that keeps some of its best characteristics without generating paper and aggravation – while saving time and effort.
The document discusses integrating fax into Cisco IP environments. It notes that while some believe fax is disappearing, it remains critical for industries like finance, healthcare, and law. The challenges with UC and fax integration are discussed, along with how the Cisco AXP and XMediusFAX solution addresses these challenges by providing a secure, network-based fax solution that leverages existing Cisco infrastructure. Benefits include improved productivity, mobility, collaboration, cost savings, and environmental benefits. Success stories highlight time and cost savings customers achieved.
HIPAA has changed the way fax-based communication must work. Protection of inbound faxes, manual delivery of paper faxes and lack of a consolidated audit trail making paper-based faxing risky and costly. There is a way to maintain solve these problems and still use faxing when needed. Find out how in this slideshare deck on improving the security of fax-based health communication.
In this slideshare, you’ll learn:
1.How HIPAA impacts faxing
2.Alternatives to paper-based faxing

Improving Fax- and Paper-based Operations in Healthcare with Integrated Cost ...Syscom Services
Integrating EPIC and other EMRs with faxing, document capture and enterprise information management solutions help healthcare systems improve healthcare operations and cut costs.
This document provides instructions for setting up and using eFax, an online fax service that allows users to send and receive faxes via email or online without needing a fax machine. It outlines the simple signup process, which involves choosing a phone number, filling out billing information, and sending colleagues the new eFax number. It also explains how to view incoming faxes attached to emails or in an online message center, and how to send faxes by selecting a file and destination number.
Healthcare IT thought leadership and practice managers continually seek ways to foster a culture of alertness when it comes to HIPAA compliance. They have the dual challenge of staying on the right side of federal regulators and stopping would-be hackers. This is especially true given the potential impact a data breach can have on their organization’s reputation and bottom line. By reflecting on 2015, it becomes clear that covered entities and business associates alike will continue to prepare to mitigate the threat of cyber-attacks and the planned ramp up of OCR Phase 2 Audits.
HIPAA compliance Tune-up for 2016 is the topic of this webinar – which will be focused on mitigation strategies Covered Entities and BA’s alike can take to minimize the risk of data breach or actions prompting an OCR Audit.

This document discusses integrating fax capabilities with electronic medical record (EMR) systems. It begins by noting that fax remains a primary means of communication for many physicians. It then explores why fax continues to be relevant in healthcare due to its ability to transmit complex information, ubiquity, security, and addressability. The document outlines benefits of integrating fax with EMRs such as improved productivity, cost savings, and security. It provides an overview of various integration methods and fax software solutions from OpenText that can integrate with health information systems. In closing, it highlights a success story of a large hospital system that integrated OpenText's RightFax solution with its EMR to meet compliance requirements.

The business case for BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) and mobile devices has been made in healthcare, and delivers a clear upside on patient care, engagement and convenience. However, for healthcare IT professionals, security is a huge concern – from HIPAA Compliance to ensuring that ePHI containing patients’ data is not improperly disclosed, stored, or lost, causing potential breaches and reportable events under the HITECH Act. One of those workflows – mobile faxing – is one such area that healthcare IT professionals should carefully review for compliance, as images and documents, PDFs, medical claims and prescriptions are frequently sent via electronic fax, and require special care and handling under HIPAA.
The webinar will discuss the following:
How HIPAA impacts BYOD
Some best practices to reduce risks of reportable events
Pitfalls involved with having a BYOD environment
How mobile faxing with

The IT manager’s survival guide to outsourcing your fax infrastructure to the...eFax Corporate®
For many in IT management, spending capital, time and IT resources on maintaining fax servers and infrastructure is not a high priority. However, because many established industries — such as legal, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing — are highly dependent on fax documents, IT management must continue to optimize this technology to meet business needs and requirements.
But if your organization is spending more time than you should handling employees’ fax complaints or performing maintenance on fax servers and other infrastructure, it might be time to take your business’s fax infrastructure to the cloud, and leverage all of the benefits of a fully hosted cloud fax solution — benefits that include cost savings, freed-up IT resources, enhanced security and regulatory compliance, and even increased employee productivity.
