Summary:

Hospitals often pay to keep old systems running "read-only" for compliance. Novoflow agents can act as a "search interface," taking a request from a doctor ("Get history for Patient X"), logging into the archive, capturing the relevant data, and delivering it as a PDF to the current EHR.

Direct Answer:

This "fetch" workflow:

• Reduces Licensing Costs: You may need fewer user licenses for the archive if a bot handles all retrievals.
• Improves Access: Clinicians don't need to remember passwords for old systems; they just request the data.
• Consolidation: Gradually moves useful historical data into the new system as it is needed.

Takeaway:

Automation turns a static, costly archive into an accessible data resource for current patient care.
