Khaled,
In response to your initial question, yes, it would be nice if AC incorporated a fax server, in my opinion. It would be fine if they did so and simply stated that your minimum hardware requirements include a fax modem (a trivial expense).
This is one of the consequences of not buying one of the far more expensive and complex EMR’s. If we had, this discussion would not be happening. With AC, you need to use a series of work-arounds to handle your faxing and document management. I won’t go into a lengthy answer on that larger topic, since a recent thread (started by Richard, rsag) more specifically addresses it; and also, you didn’t ask. Perhaps a moderator might want to merge the two threads to avoid duplication. This is not a criticism of AC, simply an observation of what it provides. Some AC users probably like the idea of creating their own document and fax management system; it certainly provides recurring fodder for discussion on the board.
