Enhance Staff Productivity for Better Patient Care
Patient care goes well beyond bedside care. It starts behind the scenes with streamlined processes — like online faxing with eFax.
Centralized Administration
With so many healthcare workers, it can be difficult to establish who can access what documents. But with eFax’s centralized administration, you can assign several levels of administrative access from one central account.
This centralized administration also allows you to generate several types of reports at any time. You can review data about fax volume by department, user or group to help you identify any area of improvement.
Improved Interoperability
Interoperability is essential in healthcare, and eFax — and Consensus Cloud Solutions in general — can help you improve your patient and provider workflows. With eFax Corporate, you can use one user-friendly platform to share health data with both providers and patients.
Simple Integration
You already have several healthcare workflows, and adding in a new system can be complicated — but not with eFax. The secure cloud fax API quickly integrates with your existing EMR and EHR systems to simplify your team’s workflows, not complicate them.
If you need support during the integration process, eFax can help. Our experts have plenty of experience providing faxing solutions for the healthcare industry, and they can provide a white-gloved integration for you.
Increased Staff Productivity
All of these features are great alone. But combine them, and you have a recipe for increased staff productivity. With integration options and increased interoperability, your staff can save up to 70% of their time. That means they can focus more on things like improved patient care rather than faxing and tracking down documents.
The flexibility of eFax also helps boost your practice’s efficiency. Since your staff can fax anywhere, anytime, they can immediately share sensitive documents with providers, colleagues and patients. This streamlines your workflows, resulting in more satisfied patients and providers.

HIPAA regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, so each healthcare facility must ensure that any and all software complies. Thankfully, eFax Corporate provides everything that HIPAA requires.
