Frequently Asked Questions

Is there anything I have to be aware of when setting up my fax machine?

• Fax machines used for sending and receiving patient information should be placed in a secure location.  
• Incoming faxes should be removed timely from the output tray and distributed to the recipient to reduce the chance of an inappropriate use or disclosure.
• Pre-programmed numbers should be validated periodically and regular fax recipients should be reminded to provide notification in the event their incoming fax number changes.
