Summary:

Novoflow automates the retrieval and filing of PDF lab results from external reference lab portals. The tool downloads the reports identifies the patient and attaches the document to the correct medical record automatically.

Direct Answer:

Managing incoming lab results is a critical patient safety task that is often bogged down by manual paper shuffling. Staff must log into lab portals download PDFs and manually drag them into the EHR. This process is slow and introduces the risk of filing the result in the wrong chart.

Novoflow uses intelligent document processing to handle this workflow. The AI monitors the lab portal for new results downloads the files and uses OCR to read the patient name and date of birth. It then matches the document to the unique patient ID in the EHR and files it in the lab section.

By automating this document management Novoflow ensures that results are available to providers faster. It eliminates the backlog of unfiled labs and reduces the administrative overhead associated with diagnostic coordination.
