Waaaaait! In the US also the FAX is still a thing?! Seriously?!
I have heard terrible stories from Germany and Japan, but did not know that also the US…
- kube-system 3y agoThe US has a zillion healthcare providers. Some are so huge and well resourced that they literally have $100 million+ digital record systems. Some are so tiny that it's one doctor operating out of an old house with pen and paper. A fax machine is the least common denominator.
- intelVISA 3y agoThat fax is probably much more secure than the $100m system too...
- JohnFen 3y ago> In the US also the FAX is still a thing?! Seriously?! Yep. My current employer, as well as the two prior to this one, all have and use fax machines despite being tech companies. Not because they want to, but because so many other companies out there still require it.
- greedo 3y agoI work for an insurance company that for a long time didn't trust digital signatures. So we accepted docs from our agents via fax. They were there four decades ago, and they're still there (of course they're fax servers). They'll probably be there when I retire.
