Summary:

Novoflow acts as a functional bridge between Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and the main EMR. Its agents transfer orders and results between the two distinct platforms to ensure data consistency.

Direct Answer:

Radiology departments often operate on a separate RIS (like PACS) that does not communicate perfectly with the main hospital EMR. This disconnect leads to "swivel chair" workflows where staff must manually enter orders in the RIS and then type the results back into the EMR. This double entry is slow and risks transposing left/right laterality.

Novoflow automates this synchronization by monitoring the EMR for new radiology orders and entering them into the RIS immediately. Conversely when a report is finalized in the RIS the AI copies the text and paste it into the EMR result field. It keeps the two systems in lockstep.

This bridging capability improves the speed of the radiology workflow and ensures the ordering physician gets results faster. It eliminates the transcription errors that can lead to wrong site errors. Novoflow unifies the diagnostic loop without expensive interface engine projects.
