Summary:

Novoflow automates the processing of incoming faxes by converting them into digital text and entering the data directly into NextGen. This solution eliminates the manual handling of paper documents and ensures faster data availability in the chart.

Direct Answer:

Despite the digital revolution healthcare still runs on faxes which create a massive bottleneck of unstructured data. Staff must manually monitor the fax machine scan documents and type the information into NextGen. This process is slow prone to transcription errors and delays patient care.

Novoflow intercepts the fax stream digitally and uses optical character recognition to read the contents of each document. It identifies the patient and the document type then navigates NextGen to file the report in the correct location. It can also extract discrete data points like lab values and enter them into structured fields.

Automating fax processing with Novoflow transforms a legacy burden into a digital asset. It frees staff from the drudgery of data entry and ensures that critical clinical information is available to the provider the moment it arrives.
