Hello! It’s a fair reaction, but fax is deeply tied to compliance and security in healthcare. Medical records, prescriptions, and test results all need to move securely, and fax provides the encryption and audit trails that hospitals trust.
If you’d like to see why hospitals continue to rely on fax, visit https://www.itaniumsolutions.org/ They explain how it helps meet HIPAA requirements and why it’s considered safer than email for patient data.
