Re: I'm Past My Prime Just Like Paper
Workflow is about process and information of which paper is just an element. There are unlimited opportunities to automate process and the movement of information through a business. Even if paper disappeared tomorrow workflow would still exist. Fear not young Jedi.

Re: What HIPAA does and how the healthcare industry has been complying
What's really comical is while MFP vendors are touting the great features of their HIPAA complaint systems, walk through a typical sales office and I guarantee you'll be able to find a lease with a personal guarantee and a person's SS# left out somewhere on a desk.

Re: Fax Workflow with HIPAA
The real question is do they care. Try going to the OmTool AccuRoute site. There you will see Omtool's justification for their software using HIPPA compliance. It refers to hospitals but the concept is the same. You might even get your attorneys to consider OmTool AccuRoute to automatically route the incoming faxes based on their workflow.

Re: HIPAA Email Considerations from Top to Bottom
I'm always amazed when I visit medical facilities how much faxing they still do. Nearly all of my business clients have abandoned faxing for the most part but not medical. To me there is nothing less secure than faxing but for some reason the industry with the most supposed interest in information privacy is the one still stuck in the stone ages using fax machines.

Health care IT security has been lackluster of late, to say the least, as countless breaches of patient data have taken place in a relatively short period of time with no signs of a changing tide rolling in soon. This is one of the many reasons why regulators and law enforcement officials have started to come down hard on hospitals and other medical firms that are not doing everything in their power to maintain compliance and protect information from the grasp of hackers and other threats.
