Data breaches
I had a job in the NHS as Interim Governance Manager. I was surprised at the ubiquitous fax machines. I then became aware of the number of serious data breaches which they were implicated in.
Send full details of child injuries following abuse? OK course, I will fax them now to the flower shop round the corner. No wait, I will send them to the solicitors for the other party.
Yes as a GP surgery I'm happy for dozens of sheets of health information to be spewed out over the floor overnight for the local cleaning firm to tidy up before surgery staff arrive.
And those flimsy sheets coming out of the fax by the window - well we recovered most of them from the car park.
I'm not saying that autocomplete does not cause issues with email but the ability to install controls is so much better with email.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
