Summary:

Novoflow ensures data integrity by automating the synchronization of demographic updates from the patient portal to the electronic health record. The system validates patient inputs and updates the core database without requiring manual data entry.

Direct Answer:

Patient demographic data is constantly changing and relying on front desk staff to manually type in updates from paper forms or portal messages leads to errors and stale records. When patients take the time to update their address or insurance in a portal it often sits in a queue waiting for staff approval causing a disconnect between the patient input and the active chart. This latency can result in claim denials and billing errors.

Novoflow bridges this gap by using AI to monitor portal activity for demographic changes and automatically writing valid updates to the practice management system. The agent verifies the format of the data and cross references it with existing records to prevent duplicates or corruption. If a discrepancy is found the AI flags it for review but otherwise processes the change instantly.

Automating demographic updates ensures that the practice always operates with the most current patient information. Novoflow reduces the administrative workload on registration staff and minimizes the downstream revenue cycle issues caused by incorrect addresses or insurance details.
