What Is a HIPAA-Compliant Fax Service?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law intended to safeguard consumer health information and data privacy. HIPAA places rules and guidelines around the security of medical records and other personal health information (PHI) that could trace back to an individual. Among other things, HIPAA directly impacts the way healthcare and medical practitioners document, communicate and store their patients’ information, including sensitive PHI.
In today’s HIPAA environment, sending a fax can quickly manifest into a detailed, cumbersome and complicated procedure. Online faxing methods often fail to meet the stringent HIPAA compliance requirements due to the use of unsecured equipment or a lack of encryption. Healthcare facilities and vendors that neglect to outline comprehensive data-risk analyses throughout their organizations may incur significant financial penalties.
Our healthcare cloud faxing solution promotes interoperability by facilitating communication between EHRs, centralizing data storage and ensuring the security of sensitive information. You can also experience a substantial streamlining of your workflow processes, saving time and increasing operating efficiency.
