GFI FaxMaker to be Integrated into Aprima EHR SolutionsCLEARWATER, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- GFI Software today announced that GFI FaxMaker-the company's network fax server software-has been certified for use with Aprima Medical Software Inc.'s Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) solutions. Through a newly established partnership, the companies will immediately begin marketing GFI FaxMaker to Aprima's customers and extensive reseller partner network. Later this year, GFI FaxMaker will become an integrated fax component of the Aprima solution. "Despite all the attention on EHR solutions and electronic records exchanges in recent years, the healthcare industry remains predominately focused on faxing to share patient records," said Phil Bousfield, general manager of GFI Software's Infrastructure Business Unit. "As EHR software rapidly matures, industry leaders like Aprima recognize the opportunity to further strengthen the value they provide by seamlessly incorporating GFI FaxMaker into their own solutions." "Our partners and customers have told us that GFI FaxMaker as a standalone product works exceptionally well with our existing products," said David Shaw, vice president of Partner and Channel Sales at Aprima. "When we decided it was time to incorporate a fax component into the Aprima system, we partnered with GFI to ensure we were providing our customers with the best network fax technology available." Cutting Costs and Securing Patient Information Introduced in 1996, GFI FaxMaker enables healthcare providers to cut costs associated with traditional paper faxing, as well as to meet patient security and information privacy requirements mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). GFI FaxMaker enables users to send and receive fxes via their email client and EHR solution. Other features and capabilities include support for multiple types of email applications and Fax-over-IP (FoIP); integration with Microsoft (News - Alert)® Outlook® global address book to quickly direct faxes, as well as the mail merge feature in Microsoft Office to easily create personalized broadcast faxes; the ability to receive faxes as PDFs and attach files to faxes; extensive reporting to track usage, and faxes sent and received; and a junk fax filter to block fax spam. GFI FaxMaker Streamlines Health IT Operations Memphis Orthopaedic Group (sic) has 200 employees, including 12 doctors, spread across four locations. The practice has used GFI FaxMaker for seven years and also uses an EHR solution. Director of IT, Jared Baker stresses how GFI FaxMaker's simplicity and speed are among the key benefits the software provides Memphis Orthopaedic. "We send thousands of faxes a day," Baker said, "but patients are our priority. The time savings we gain by being able to send faxes through email is a tremendous advantage for our medical assistants, ensuring they can quickly move on to the next patient. GFI FaxMaker is easy to install, easy to manage and it does what it promises. The product on its own has been phenomenal, but it will be even more advantageous as the EHR vendors integrate it into their solutions."
