we still use fax

[rodjeronepiece]

Hi folks, my clinic is located in a rural area. Internet access can be unreliable, so we still use fax a lot. How can we make sure we’re HIPAA compliant under these circumstances?

Hi! Rural clinics face this issue often. HIPAA compliant faxing can still work over phone lines, but you’ll need systems that include secure storage, audit trails, and restricted access. This means even if you’re using fax due to limited internet, the workflow is still protected and compliant. Some providers even offer hybrid fax solutions that work both online and offline. That way, you don’t compromise patient privacy while dealing with infrastructure challenges.
