January 26, 2024<\/p>

Studies show more medical practices and hospitals in the U.S. are adopting cloud faxing (also known as eFaxing) when exchanging patient records. According to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)<\/a>,\u00a0 in 2021, “more than 6 in 10 hospitals engaged in key aspects of electronically sharing health information (send, receive, query) and integrating of summary of care records into EHRs, a 51 percent increase since 2017.” Additionally, while 69 percent of hospitals still used traditional mail or fax to send summary of care records (down from 71 percent in 2018<\/a>), 67 percent also used eFaxing via their EHR to send these records.\u00a0<\/p>

Here are 10 reasons why we think more medical practices are using paperless methods like cloud faxing to exchange information:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

1. Efficiency<\/h3>

Going paperless allows medical practices to digitize and automate various processes, reducing manual paperwork and streamlining workflows. In fact, practices can save an average of 4 minutes per fax<\/b> when switching to cloud faxing!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

2. Cost Savings<\/h3>

Cloud faxing eliminates the need for paper, toner and printing supplies, resulting in cost savings for the practice. Cloud faxing typically operates on a subscription-based model, making costs more predictable and manageable<\/b>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

3. HIPAA Compliance<\/h3>

Cloud faxing services that are HIPAA-compliant ensure the secure transmission<\/b> of patient records and usually come with advanced security features (like encryption and audit trails) to protect confidentiality and integrity. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

4. Accessibility <\/h3>

Cloud faxing lets medical staff send and receive faxes from anywhere with an internet connection. Plus, eFaxing is often accessible through mobile devices, allowing healthcare professionals to manage faxes and communications on the go<\/b>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

5. Improved Accuracy<\/h3>

Cloud faxing often integrates seamlessly with EHR systems, meaning providers can fax documents directly from the EHR. This can reduce manual data entry <\/b>and ultimately improves accuracy.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

6. Interoperability<\/h3>

When integrated with EHR systems, eFaxing allows seamless data transfer within systems. Digital records facilitate collaboration<\/b> among healthcare team members, improving communication and coordination of care.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

7. Enhanced Analytics<\/h3>

Cloud faxing creates a digital record, which enables practices to analyze patient data, identify trends and generate reports for better insights into patient populations and healthcare outcomes<\/b>. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
