How do I visually sync patient demographics between two EHRs with no APIs?
Last updated: 12/12/2025
Summary:
Mergers often leave clinics with two disconnected EHRs. Novoflow agents can perform "swivel-chair" automation: opening EHR A, copying patient demographics, opening EHR B, and pasting the data, verifying consistency without manual double-entry.
Direct Answer:
The sync workflow involves:
- Change Detection: The bot scans EHR A for patients modified in the last 24 hours.
- Data Extraction: Scrapes name, address, insurance, and DOB.
- Cross-Check: Searches for the patient in EHR B.
- Update/Create: Updates existing records or creates new ones if no match is found.
- Validation: Compares the final screens to ensure 100% accuracy.
Takeaway:
Visual syncing is a cost-effective alternative to building expensive HL7 interfaces for temporary or legacy system integration.
