Summary:

EHRs auto-logout after inactivity for security. Novoflow agents are programmed to detect the "Session Timeout" login screen. When detected, the agent uses stored secure credentials to re-authenticate and resume the workflow exactly where it left off.

Direct Answer:

Handling timeouts involves:

• Keep-Alive Activity: The bot may perform a "dummy" action (like refreshing a list) every 10 minutes to prevent timeout.
• State Recovery: If logged out, the bot remembers "I was on step 3 of 5 for Patient Smith" and navigates back to that screen after logging in.
• Alerting: If re-login fails (e.g., password expired), it instantly notifies an admin.

Takeaway:

Robust automation accounts for the reality of security timeouts, ensuring 24/7 operation without human babysitting.
