I won't say it's not the IT department's fault, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone re-purposed a PC for this without telling them. There are too many places where they don't lock them down hard enough because the politics of the business demand that "certain people" have access. I've seen it with clueless CEOs who think they need access to EVERY FILE EVERY WHERE!
I object to "marginally-competent medical IT sector" and would call it "largely underfunded medical IT sector"
We can do the job - if we're given the manpower, the authority, and the tools needed.
Also, faxes are used because people in charge (not your IT sector) often think they are MORE secure than email. Yes, that's wrong, but "Everyone has a fax" and "I don't know the email of the person these are going to!" are the battlecry of the "Email is too HARD!" crowd.
It's not like IT has veto authority in these matters.
Improbable cause
A field test that returns false positives 20% of the time is NOT "probable cause"!

Re: A PC?
It's actually very common to use Windows for things. It's rather popular.
