Next Generation Faxing for Epic
Healthcare organizations need automation to reduce burnout
When healthcare staff are already overburdened, Biscom can help speed up workflows, sharing patient information, ordering prescriptions and labs. Biscom also partnered with Epic to solve the missing fax problem – using metadata supplied by Epic, lost faxes can be easily searched for and redelivered. For organizations that send hundreds of thousands of faxes per month, this makes a difference and can positively impact patient care.
Key Features
- Send faxes easily, accurately, and securely within Epic
- Lookup sent faxes easily by name or medical record number
- Search, sort, and filter faxes on all metadata
- Locate failed faxes quickly and resend with very few mouse clicks
Biscom FAXCOM for Epic Integration
What it Does
Biscom’s FAXCOM for Epic integration enables users to send faxes and check fax status from within the Epic EHR. Separating faxes into secure folders corresponding to departments improves HIPAA compliance. For example, it prevents a staff member in cardiology from accidentally seeing behavioral health fax.
How it Works
Biscom directly integrated the two platforms to provide powerful and unique functionality. With Biscom’s integration, users can send faxes faster from within the Patient Record. When a fax is sent, a confirmation status is returned to the Patient Record. Metadata from Epic is appended to each fax and then this is stored.
Manage Faxes
Organizing, isolating, and managing faxes is simpler with the FAXCOM integration. With this integration, organizations can deploy fax folders for each department. This means that faxes from each department are grouped together, making it easier to manage sent faxes by departments. Records are secure within each document for HIPAA compliance.
Automate Manual Workarounds
Integration users don’t have to go outside the system to fax, avoiding errors that can be introduced with manual fax processing and potential HIPAA compliance issues.
Eliminate Process Delays
Getting the right diagnosis quickly can make a huge difference in treatment success. With integrated faxing using Biscom, Epic users no longer have to waste time printing, scanning, faxing, and entering data. All those tasks can be automated. Faxes are also sent more quickly as users don’t need to wait for an update.

Improve PHI Security
Printing, manual faxing, and scanning are all areas where PHI can be exposed. HIPAA can also be violated if, in searching for faxes, the user is exposed to non-authorized PHI. But with this FAXCOM integration, medical professionals don’t need to manually process information keeping everything secure and HIPAA compliant.
