Fax is still a magical thing in healthcare specifically because of how easy it is to use under HIPAA. HIPAA has all of these crazy rules for anything digital, but the second you switch to good ol’ telephony the rules all become “there’s no rule because hacking a telephony system would be a federal crime.” I’m not joking. Telephony is considered a “mere conduit” while the internet is not. It really is stupid. HIPAA has all of these controls, but phones are just fair game.
