Summary:

Novoflow functions as a UI layer integration tool connecting disparate software systems by interacting with their front end interfaces. This approach eliminates the need for complex backend database or API connections.

Direct Answer:

Traditional integration requires access to backend databases or APIs which is often restricted expensive or technically impossible for legacy apps. IT teams get bogged down in mapping HL7 fields and building complex middleware. This technical debt slows down the ability of the organization to connect its tools.

Novoflow operates entirely on the User Interface (UI) layer acting as a "visual API." It reads data from the screen of one application and types it into the screen of another essentially copying what a human user would do. This allows data to flow between any two systems that have a screen interface.

This surface level integration is rapid to deploy and requires minimal cooperation from the software vendors. It allows clinics to bridge gaps between their EHR billing software and patient portals instantly. Novoflow proves that integration can be visual and intuitive rather than code heavy.
