Dutch Minister of Health wants to ban faxing in the healthcare sector – IT Pro – News

The final fax I acquired was in 2011 and that was already robotically forwarded as a PDF attachment to an inner e-mail tackle, as a substitute of. print out.

Every now and then we additionally despatched a fax, however that was additionally only a type, which needed to be signed, for the file (involved enterprise gross sales agreements)

So at the moment it was already: PDF by way of fax, however ws. fax to PDF.

Somebody prints it out, indicators it, places it within the scanner, faxes it again, turns into a PDF once more after which as
digital file hooked up to file.

So, all conversions: PDF -> fax -> PDF -> printout -> fax -> PDF.

When the authorized division allowed it, we simply emailed PDF. In line with them, the fax step was beforehand essential to make it legally legitimate. Yep, attorneys.

PDF -> printout -> PDF was already rather a lot less complicated. Nonetheless that analogous step in between, again then.

At the least no concept if there wasn’t some good man on the opposite facet who simply pasted a picture of his signature into the PDF, however there would not have been many. And that too, regardless of all of the faxing, was in fact already attainable.
