My business of course is not quite the same as every one, and puts a premium on two things:- security - confidentiality and certainty and high quality legible integrated original records persisting for decades. Oddly, since the NHS got the facilities to run encrypted email on a national basis, various parts of our local services have vastly increased their use of mechanical facsimile transmission of elements of Psychiatric medical records - few of which have been useful on receipt, and those that have would have been more surely delivered by person to person voice calls.
