How to Manage Faxes From Your Mobile Device

‍

Given the healthcare industry’s fast-paced environment, staying connected while on the move is paramount for healthcare providers. As an essential aspect of healthcare communication, fax management is a large burden when it ties a provider to their desk. As technology has evolved and communication with patients has become more digitized since the pandemic, mobilized healthcare communication has become the norm and practices are going away with traditional faxing methods.

‍

Whether it’s from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, sending and receiving faxes on the go has increased secure and efficient communication, leading to better patient outcomes. An old-fashioned phone line is not needed to fax on the go. Instead, you are provided with a separate fax number. With a digitized faxing solution, providers can share test results, patient records, referrals, or any other medical records with anyone else from the practice, a patient, or another provider without needing a fax machine or scanner in front of them. All that is needed is cellular service or a functioning WiFi network.

Electronic fax is lower maintenance after you decide to lift off the weight of a fax machine and the baggage that comes along with it – such as paper, ink, and toner. While this makes practice workflow more convenient, it also reduces the risk of lost or misplaced documents, as they are digitally stored. As mobile fax management has increased practice productivity, it has also enhanced the quality of patient care as practitioners have a more balanced daily workload.
