Discover Our Intelligent Document Processing

AI-enabled workspaces streamline document management by automatically identifying patients, classifying document types, and converting faxes or uploaded scans into searchable text.

Easily integrate with your EHR using powerful APIs and custom document classification models tailored to your workflow.

How it Works

Fax or Upload
Documents are received by fax, direct upload, or any connected source.
OCR
All content on the page is read and converted into structured, usable text.
Split Detection
Bundle documents are identified and separated into individual records.
Custom Extraction
Configured fields are extracted from each document type according to your rules.
EHR Delivered
Data is written directly into the correct record in your EHR.

IDP Features

Automation
Fax Intake, Fully Automated
Inbound faxes are captured, read, and entered into the appropriate workflow without anyone opening a queue or making a routing decision by hand.
OCR
OCR For Any Document Type
Faxes, scans, and handwritten forms are all read and converted into clean, structured text. The process handles poor scan quality and mixed formats without needing documents prepared in advance.
Routing
⁨Automatic Split Detection
⁨When a batch arrives containing multiple documents, each one is identified and separated automatically, then classified and routed individually from that point forward.
Extraction
Custom Extraction
 Per Workflow
Configure which fields to extract from each document type. Patient demographics, authorization numbers, diagnosis codes. You set the confidence thresholds, and your team stays in the loop where it matters.
Integration
EHR Integrations
That Close the Loop
Once extraction is complete, data is written directly into your EHR with no manual re-entry required. It reaches the right record, in the right format, as soon as the document has been processed.
