I thought faxing was old-fashioned. Why do hospitals and clinics still rely on it instead of email or cloud sharing?

Faxing is secure and compliant with privacy laws like HIPAA. It reduces the risk of hacking and ensures documents reach the right place. Digital faxing keeps this security while letting staff send faxes instantly from computers or phones. For more on why faxing hasn’t disappeared in healthcare, check ask4research.info.
