It has to do w HIPPA. If you don’t have a very expensive EMR w portal patient access, you need to rely on point to point (ie fax) as you cannot intercept the signal like internet, man in the middle network problems.

B.S. Faxes transmit all their data in the clear, no encryption over a phone line that can be physically or virtually wiretapped anywhere along the route. Unless you are in the middle of nowhere, only the last mile of a phone call is still on coppper analog lines. Once your call hits the CO it is converted and sent via a network.
