IBM i Automation for Healthcare
Patient intake forms arrive by fax. Insurance claims come as PDFs. Lab orders are scanned and stacked. Your staff manually transcribes every one into IBM i (AS/400) claims processing and patient management screens. LegacyBridge eliminates that manual step — reading patient documents with AI vision and entering data directly into your IBM i via TN5250, exactly as your operators would. No HL7 integration. No software on your system.
The Problem
Healthcare organizations running IBM i handle a constant stream of patient documents — intake forms, insurance claims, lab requisitions, and referral letters. Staff manually re-key patient IDs, diagnosis codes (ICD-10), procedure codes (CPT), dates of service, and billing amounts into AS/400 claims processing screens.
This manual process creates three compounding risks: transcription errors that trigger claim denials and billing disputes, compliance exposure when audit trails are incomplete, and patient care delays when lab orders or referrals sit in a data entry queue. Staffing shortages make the backlog worse — trained operators who know both medical terminology and IBM i screen navigation are difficult to replace.
How It Works
- 01
Receive patient documents
Patient intake forms, insurance claims, lab orders, and referral letters arrive via fax, scanner, or patient portal upload. LegacyBridge accepts any format — PDF, scanned image, or fax.
- 02
AI extracts clinical and billing fields
AI vision reads the full document and extracts patient ID, diagnosis codes, procedure codes, dates of service, provider information, and billing amounts. No OCR templates to configure per form type.
- 03
Data enters IBM i via TN5250
The agent connects to your IBM i over TN5250, navigates to the correct claims processing or patient management screens, and enters each field. It handles menu navigation, screen transitions, and field validation automatically.
- 04
Exception review for flagged fields
When the AI encounters low-confidence extractions, missing required data, or ambiguous codes, it pauses and flags the entry for human review. Nothing is committed to your system without meeting your confidence threshold.
What You Get
Built With Compliance in Mind
Document data is processed in transit and not stored after entry. Every action is recorded in a SHA-256 audit chain, giving you a complete, tamper-evident record for compliance reviews. SOC 2 in progress, GDPR aligned.
Claims Acceleration
Reduce claims processing time from days to hours. Patient forms, lab orders, and referrals enter your IBM i as they arrive — no queue, no backlog, no overtime.
Zero System Changes
No HL7 integration, no API development, no RPG modifications. LegacyBridge connects via standard TN5250 — the same protocol your terminal emulators already use.
