It’s the 21st century, and 78% of hospitals still “often or sometimes” receive their medical records via mail or fax, according to a [2021 report](https://www.healthit.gov/data/data-briefs/interoperability-and-methods-exchange-among-hospitals-2021) from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
