HIPAA compliance shapes every decision in health IT. Paperless Productivity® offers healthcare fax and optical character recognition (OCR) solutions that make compliance easier by removing manual steps, increasing security, and building comprehensive audit trails.

RightFax for Healthcare

Fax remains a common medium for PHI. Unfortunately, sensitive faxes need to be handled with a myrid of cumbersome precautions. Even then, they are difficult or downright impossible to audit.

We specialize in EMR/EHR fax server integrations using RightFax (which is often deployed via our managed Private Fax Cloud®). RightFax-enabled healthcare organizations reduce workflow costs while more securely sending and receiving faxes directly through their EHR and virtually any back-office applications.

• EHR/EMR integrations for all major vendors and most niche software
• Healthcare Direct for fully compliant, secure, internet-based health information exchange & Meaningful Use fulfillment
• Extensive, built-in audit capabilities
• Certified delivery options
• Full control (and auditing) of user permissions

Healthcare Fax Automation: Read, Understand & Act

After a fax arrives, its information still needs to go somewhere useful. Older OCR tools stopped at reading the page. Today's fax automation goes further, combining OCR with AI so each document is read, understood, and acted on before staff ever touch it.

1. Read

OCR converts the image on the page into machine-readable text: handwriting, scanned forms, faded toner, inconsistent templates, all of it.

2. Understand

AI reviews that text for intent, urgency, and context: a routine refill, a time-sensitive referral, an incomplete authorization. This is the step that used to require a trained scheduler's judgment.

3. Act

The system applies business rules and AI inference to prioritize, structure, and route the document, often before a human sees it at all.

• Faster, more accurate routing: Less time re-keying data, fewer misdirected faxes.
• Immediate validation: Extracted fields are checked against internal records before they reach a workflow.
• Consistent handling: Every fax, regardless of time of day or volume, moves through the same governed process.

---

This whole sequence runs inside your fax environment (such as Private Fax Cloud®) so PHI stays governed and auditable at every step rather than passing through a separate tool. For a deeper look at how the read-understand-act sequence works, see our detailed breakdown.

It's an intelligent, accurate, and highly scalable approach that drastically reduces error rates and resulting compliance issues.

• Smoother transition from paper-centric to digital workflows
• Quick, automatic forms processing, from initial capture through final approval
• Immediate data validation against internal records and/or external sources
• Rapid submission for HCAHPS compliance, CMS requirements, etc.
