Introduction
Transitioning from traditional faxing to more efficient digital solutions is essential in modern healthcare. HUB Healthcare offers a secure platform for sending direct and group messages, including document sharing, which can effectively replace outdated faxing methods.
Fax machines in healthcare pose several challenges. Firstly, they can compromise patient confidentiality due to potential misdirected faxes. Secondly, faxes may suffer from poor image quality, making crucial medical information difficult to read or interpret. Thirdly, fax machines are often inefficient, requiring manual handling of documents, which is time-consuming and prone to human error. This traditional method also lacks the ability to easily track and confirm the receipt of sensitive medical information. Consequently, these issues can lead to delays in patient care and may even result in medical errors, highlighting the need for more secure and efficient digital communication solutions like HUB Healthcare.
