Hi everyone, I’ve been hearing a lot about HIPAA compliant faxing lately. I know HIPAA is about patient privacy, but I’m not sure what makes faxing “compliant” and why it’s still relevant in today’s digital age. Can anyone explain this in detail?

Hello! Great question. HIPAA compliant faxing ensures that sensitive patient information sent via fax is fully protected according to federal privacy laws. Unlike traditional faxing where documents might be exposed, HIPAA compliant faxing includes encryption, access controls, and audit trails. These safeguards make sure only authorized staff can handle patient data and that no breaches occur during transmission or storage.
In fact, many healthcare providers now use digital fax solutions that integrate with electronic health records. They provide encryption, delivery confirmation, and Business Associate Agreements to keep everything legally sound. If you’d like a complete overview of HIPAA faxing requirements and the technologies available, I recommend visiting https://digital-built-britain.com/ where you’ll find all the detailed information laid out clearly.
