If you are using SRFax, when you send faxes from the TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR), they are delivered through the third-party fax vendor SRFax. SRFax attempts to deliver your faxes three times. If a fax fails to reach its destination, you can view the failure reason from your Outbox.
For more information about using the outbox, see Viewing outgoing items.
