Despite digital adoption, fax is still the backbone of many workflows—and managing that inbox is often a full-time job.
AI is changing that. But not all fax automation platforms are equal. Pulmonology groups should look for solutions that manage faxes efficiently, compliantly, and with clinical context.
Why Fax Still Dominates in Pulmonology
Pulmonologists regularly rely on faxed:
- Sleep studies and CPAP vendor reports
- Hospital discharge summaries
- Radiology interpretations
- Primary care and specialist referrals
These documents often arrive by fax even from modern EHRs. Manual sorting and uploading wastes time, invites errors, and delays follow-up—especially in high-volume clinics.
Key Capabilities to Look For
The best fax AI platform for pulmonology should:
- Extract structured data – Capture patient names, dates, referring providers, and service type without human input.
- Route based on clinical context – Understand if a fax goes to a provider, scheduler, or patient chart.
- Integrate directly into your EHR – Insert documents and metadata into Epic, Athena, eCW, etc.
- Scale with volume – Handle hundreds of faxes daily with reliable fallback for exceptions.
- Offer traceability and audit logs – Critical for HIPAA compliance and reviews.
Comparison of Top Fax AI Platforms
- Honey Health – Healthcare-specific, native EHR integration, fully agentic, customizable.
- Updox – Healthcare-oriented but requires partial manual routing; limited customization.
- RightFax (OpenText) – General-purpose; lacks AI and true healthcare focus.
- Concord – Not healthcare-first; limited EHR integration and no native AI routing.
