Meanwhile the E-Arztbrief which was supposed to replace FAX is a complete mess. The directory for mail addresses have not been strictly regulated. It's pretty much useless everywhere where big index databases of medical professionals already exist since find the proper mail address is a pain.
A friend working at a big radiology attempted to manage that since there are issues with FAX systems since ISDN technology has been boxed and the E-Arztbrief would have been a good solution. But when he started out comparing their database, he found awful problems. For example there are whole names in the surname field or names of a Doctor's office. You can't properly search and even if you do, you are never sure you got the right one.
