RightFax Health IT Integrations | OpenText Fax & Document ...

One of the greatest strengths of OpenText?s RightFax fax software is its broad integration options and unmatched interoperability.

As my boss is fond of saying, ?It?s not a question of what we do integrate with, but what we don?t.?

When it comes to healthcare information systems (HIS) that manage huge volumes of protected health information (PHI) and other sensitive data, secure electronic records transfer like fax can be a life-saving communications solution.

Just to be clear, we?re not talking about fax machines, (remember those boxy old screeching dinosaurs?), we?re talking about securely sending and receiving document images using voice technology between IP addresses. If that?s too much of a mouthful, you can just call it fax over IP, or FoIP (pronounced ?foyp?). Also, we?re not talking about a few dozen or even a few hundred faxes, but rather thousands or hundreds of thousands of faxes a month.

We have spent the last 25 years designing the world?s best fax-based document distribution software and servers, and we have proudly deployed more than 100,000 servers around the world, (more than 10,000 in the healthcare industry alone).

Healthcare providers have a lot of options when it comes to designing the architecture of their HIS, and when you talk to healthcare IT professionals, they are generally focused on two things aside from basic functionality: scalability and integration options. If they rely on fax to transmit PHI, they need to consider the leader in integrated fax solutions: OpenText.

Need to view faxed PHI from your mobile device? There?s an app for that. Want to send a fax from your email client? We can do that. Want to control which of your staff has access to specific document types? No problem. If an external audit or other discovery request requires rapid access to a specific record or group of related records, our fax software will save you the trouble of leafing through mountains of paper documents and enable you to retrieve and deliver your sensitive information quickly and securely from the desktop.

Let?s put it this way: If your application/device can print, it can be fax-enabled.? This has been a true statement since the very first RightFax fax server was deployed, and our capabilities now extend to XML-based applications, all SMTP-based email, Oracle, SAP, Exchange, and 100s of the most popular MFPs.

Most medium to large clinics, hospitals, and health networks rely on some form of electronic medical record (EMR) system to share PHI (52 percent of respondents to a recent survey said they used EMR last year, up from 17 percent in 2009). But they also need their records management strategy to work alongside other systems, often between several different vendors and platforms. With OpenText RightFax fax server and Alchemy document server, one thing they won?t have to worry about integrating with is their fax. Our products integrate with dozens of crucial HIS systems from all of the leading vendors and innovators including McKessen, GE Healthcare and Allscripts. Many of these vendors actually require RightFax to fax enable their HIS products.
