Yes. Passport supports automated fax transmission from business applications through its API and through certified integrations with a range of EHR, LIS, CRM, and document management platforms. Automated fax is one of the primary ways that high-volume organizations use Passport to eliminate the manual initiation step from fax-dependent workflows. How Automated Fax Works Passport’s API […]

When organizations evaluate a fax platform migration, the conversation typically centers on platform features, compliance architecture, integration capability, and cost. Fax number porting is often treated as an administrative detail to be sorted out during implementation. Organizations that have been through a migration know it is not a detail. It is one of the most

Toxicology laboratories sit at the intersection of clinical medicine, workplace compliance, legal proceedings, and public safety in a way that few other laboratory disciplines do. The results they generate are used to guide treatment decisions for overdose patients, determine employment outcomes for workers subject to drug testing programs, provide evidence in criminal and civil legal

Infrastructure decisions reveal organizational values in ways that strategy documents and mission statements do not. The systems an organization invests in, maintains carefully, and treats as mission-critical reflect what it actually believes matters. The systems it defers, tolerates in a degraded state, and manages reactively reflect a different set of priorities, often implicitly held rather

In a legal dispute, a regulatory investigation, or a payer audit, the question of whether a specific document was transmitted and received on a specific date is frequently the central evidentiary question. The answer to that question depends on what record the sending organization can produce, how that record was generated, and how reliably it

When people argue that fax is outdated from a security perspective, the assumption underlying that argument is usually that fax is easier to intercept than modern alternatives.

After a fax is delivered through Fax 2.0 and the etherFAX network, the fax content is destroyed using FIPS 140-2 compliant deletion. The document itself does not persist in Lane’s or etherFAX’s infrastructure after delivery is confirmed. Only the call record details, the transmission metadata including timestamp, sender, recipient, and delivery status, are retained for

Yes. Lane enters into HIPAA Business Associate Agreements with healthcare customers as a standard part of the Passport and Fax 2.0 implementation process. A BAA is not an optional add-on or a premium tier requirement. It is a baseline component of how Lane works with covered entities and their business associates. Why This Matters Any

Passport supports TIFF, PDF, and Microsoft Office document formats for outbound fax transmission. In practice, that means the documents your team is already working with, reports generated by your EHR, PDFs from your document management system, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and standard image formats, can be sent directly through Passport without requiring manual conversion or

When a fax fails, Passport does not go silent. The platform detects the failure, retries the transmission automatically, and alerts the relevant parties if the document cannot be delivered after the configured number of attempts. That might sound like a basic expectation, but it is not what most organizations experience with legacy fax servers or
