I just ran into this yesterday. I wonder if it is a HIPPA thing or DEA thing where you can control the end point of the conveyance of the information?
IP is not as secure, perhaps, in someone’s mind. Them doctors loves their faxes. First FTTH customer I ever did was to a larger office full of doctors. I talked them into swinging everything to me. I payed to have the incumbent hook them back up to POTS after a few days of trying. The main doctor in this new office building was a friend of mine. I will never touch a doctor or pharmacy again. Fax and IP/SIP just do not play nice.

Laws haven’t caught up to digital signatures or pictures of an original document.

The therapist hand writes out the report for the patient, then it's faxed to corporate where it's automagically sucked into the customers digital file. So they send 100 faxes/day. You would think that it should all be just entered right into the customers digital file. On 11/19/2021 11:33 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: For some, it's because they're old.
