EHR Extraction & Write-back

Pre-Visit Chart Prep, Run as Agents

Every chart on tomorrow’s schedule, prepped tonight: the lab result the visit depends on pulled forward, the hospital discharge summary found, the overdue screening flagged, before the clinician ever logs in. Chart prep is the most automatable job in the clinic, because it’s reading, not judging.

How Asteroid runs this workflow

Tomorrow's charts, prepped tonight instead of at 9pm

Tomorrow's visit schedule identifies the charts that need preparation, Asteroid gathers each visit's results and outside records, runs your written prep protocol, and stages a per-visit summary with the gaps flagged by name, while anything needing clinical interpretation is flagged for the clinician, never resolved by the agent.

Ambulatory EHRs

How it actually runs

  1. 01Sign in to the EHR with credentials from an agent profile and read tomorrow’s schedule.
  2. 02For each visit, check the results it depends on: labs ordered since the last visit, imaging back or still pending, each named with its status. A visit scheduled to review a result that hasn’t arrived is flagged tonight, not discovered in the exam room.
  3. 03Pull the outside records the chart is waiting on, discharge summaries, specialist notes, wherever the EHR receives them.
  4. 04Run the chart against your care-gap checklist: screenings overdue, immunizations due, refills about to lapse, each flagged by name.
  5. 05Stage a per-visit prep summary where your clinicians expect it. Where the protocol includes routine documentation entry, it’s entered exactly as provided and verified saved.

The line is bright: a result that changes the visit, a contradiction in the chart, anything needing clinical interpretation is flagged for the clinician, never resolved by the agent. It moves information; it doesn’t practice medicine.

The upcoming visit schedule identifies the charts that need preparation before the clinic day starts

  1. A prepared chart, handed off before the visit

    Approved administrative fields populated, source material attached, and a visible missing-item list per visit, so the chart is ready because it's morning, not because someone gave up an evening.

Conflicting or judgment-heavy content: The finding returns flagged with the chart evidence attached (a contradiction in the record, a result that changes the visit, any prep item requiring clinical interpretation), and clinical staff decide it once; the agent moves information, it doesn't practice medicine.

Pajama time is a staffing decision nobody actually made.

No practice ever decided its physicians should do an hour of chart review at 9pm; the work landed there because no role owned it and only clinicians could tell what mattered. But the telling-what-matters part is your prep protocol, written down once. The finding-and-fetching part is reading, collecting, and arranging, the exact work agents absorb, and every hour of it a physician does is bought at physician cost and paid for again in burnout. The chart should be ready because it’s morning, not because someone gave up their evening.

At scale

What runs today

Chart-prep agents are built per EHR on request, and the machinery underneath them already runs in production: reading patient records out of eleven different EHRs at 40,000 extractions a month, and filing documents into charts with every upload verified. Prep is those two motions pointed at tomorrow’s schedule. Scope it against your EHR and protocol; the category is the EHR workflow library.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Your prep protocol is the configuration: which results get pulled forward for which visit types, which care gaps to check (screenings overdue, immunizations due, refills about to lapse), where outside records arrive in your EHR, and where the per-visit prep summary is staged so clinicians find it. Most practices have never written that checklist down, so scoping starts there, and each facility's EHR becomes a scoped build of the same protocol. Clinicians keep their morning routine; the difference is the chart is ready because it's morning, not because someone gave up an evening.
