How is Updox different than an electronic fax service?
Updox is an electronic fax service, but it’s also much more. Updox includes tight integration with EHR / EMR systems that eliminates several extra steps you would require with another fax service when importing faxes into EMR systems. It also enables you to annotate documents that need to be faxed or that have just been received, using tight security over signatures and edits to satisfy the strict recordkeeping requirements of medical practices. Updox also provides secure delivery options, in addition to traditional fax, for those exchanges and conversations that you wish to remain extra confidential and HIPAA compliant. Plus, in one step, a faxed lab report received in Updox can be quickly shared securely with a patient, along with embedded comments and redactions, all throught the patient portal.
