Paper faxes still dominate extended care

Research published by Consensus Cloud Solutions
- 61% of post-acute care facilities still rely on paper fax machines to share PHI
- “The biggest problem with a strong push to use HL7 FHIR standards is that many of the healthcare stakeholders, most specifically post-acute facilities, were not incentivized to use EHRs with the ability to digest information”
- “They are on the receiving end of the burden because they do not get the information in electronic formats. So that leads to a lot of data entry and people standing at fax machines”
