Knowledge is Power -- Medical Faxes

Wheaton, IL-In a unique combination of technology and healthcare, the March
of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation uses Copia International's FaxFacts
system to provide fax access to medical information on over two thousand
birth defects. As the definitive source on birth defects and syndromes,
the March of Dimes' staff knows that immediate access to critical medical
data results in more effective treatments and an improving quality of
life. 

Using FaxFacts, The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation makes over 3200
documents available immediately to anyone. More than one hundred March of
Dimes chapters in the United States maintain catalogs of the Fax-on-Demand
documents and can download them immediately in response to research or
medical requests.

The primary advantage of FaxFacts Fax-on-Demand system from a practical
standpoint is time saved, according to Beth Gaffney of the March of Dimes
Birth Defects Foundation. "Individuals can access this information through
their fax machine instead of having to go through us -- the middle
person," reports Ms. Gaffney. Time is critical in medical situations.
Patients, doctors, and even family members can quickly access important
information in order to make informed decisions on treatment. The on-line
information is easily updated, keeping data current. 

The March of Dimes' FaxFacts system is set up for one-call faxing. The
caller dials 914-997-4410 from a fax machine. In response to a voice
prompt, the caller enters a four digit document number using the telephone
keypad. Up to five documents can be requested on one call. When prompted,
the caller hangs up the fax phone and pushes the Receive button on the fax
machine to start the transmission. Copia's one-call technology keeps phone
costs down for the company, making fax-on-demand economically feasible.
For the recipient, one-call faxing insures confidentiality by dispensing
the fax to the same fax machine the call is made from. 

Copia is proud of the role its technology can play in improving lives. In
addition to the March of Dimes, Copia also provides FaxFacts Fax-on-Demand
to the National Cancer Institute for "Cancer Fax," (301-402-5874) fax
documents describing treatment guidelines for cancer diagnoses. Once
again, all you need is a fax machine.
