Healthcare organizations find easier HIPAA compliance and improved record keeping with Venali Internet Fax

Healthcare organizations deal with time sensitive and confidential documentation. From patients charts, to appointment settings to lab results, employees in the industry are often surrounded by papers, memos and reports. These documents are imperative and if misplaced or given to the wrong person, can lead to serious consequences for doctors and patients.

Fax is commonly used in the healthcare industry as a way to get sign offs on lab results, as well as prescriptions. Doctors and staff rely on fast results and often run into significant problems with traditional fax machines. For instance, busy signals are common in high-traffic offices, because several documents are being sent at once. Also, this creates bottlenecking of the machines, leading to frustration and lost faxes. And because of HIPAA regulations, everything must be filed and recorded. Copies of every document must be made and kept in a folder for later retrieval, making it difficult for the office staff to accomplish all their other tasks.

Doctors are also often away from their offices and on hospital rounds. If a doctor wants to receive a fax, he has to go back to his office where the fax machine is, wasting valuable time he could be spending with the patient. Also, because of the large amount of faxes that come into a doctors office, just sorting through and finding the needed document can take up unnecessary time.
