Healthcare is modernizing fast, with high expectations to deliver a safe, seamless, and positive patient experience.
There’s a lot of pressure to ensure patient privacy, maintain regulatory compliance, and process time-sensitive information as quickly as possible. However, many of these processes rely on traditional faxing.
But traditional methods of faxing often create more problems than they solve. Paperwork gets lost and there’s no way to track if a fax has been received, creating more work for your teams.
Fortunately, Microsoft Teams and Momentum’s innovative fax integration streamlines and secures healthcare communications by making sending and receiving faxes within Teams easy.
Unique Challenges in Healthcare Faxing
Healthcare providers face numerous challenges related to faxing, such as:
- Data Security and Privacy Risks: Traditional fax machines pose significant risks of exposing Protected Health Information (PHI) to unauthorized individuals, violating patient confidentiality and HIPAA regulations.
- Operational Delays: Manual handling of physical documents—sorting, scanning, and filing—consumes valuable staff time and delays patient care.
- Compliance Complexity: Ensuring compliance with HIPAA standards demands meticulous record-keeping, auditing, and storage systems that traditional faxes struggle to provide efficiently.
Limited Accessibility: Physical fax machines restrict healthcare teams from securely accessing patient information remotely or from multiple locations.
Microsoft Teams: Enhancing HIPAA Compliance and Security
Momentum Teams Fax integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams to provide healthcare organizations with a secure, compliant, and user-friendly solution.
Here’s how it significantly elevates healthcare faxing:
- HIPAA-Compliant Storage: Using Microsoft SharePoint, Momentum securely stores faxed documents with end-to-end encryption, fully meeting HIPAA standards for PHI.
- Secure and Controlled Access: Utilizing Microsoft’s Single Sign-On (SSO) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), healthcare organizations can easily manage who has access to sensitive patient documents, dramatically reducing the risk of data breaches.
Enhanced Efficiency and Automation
Momentum Teams Fax goes beyond security by introducing intelligent automation that streamlines healthcare workflows:
