Hi!  I’m a veterinarian and would like to use some tech tools to simplify my and my colleague’s work.  

We are trying out using an AI scribe service to generate a SOAP (a form of a medical record).  It listens to our conversation in the exam room and organizes what we said into a coherent SOAP.  To my surprise, it is working quite well!

We use a very old school (legacy is a nicer word, lol) practice management software called Avimark.  Avimark is not cloud-based, web-based or anything.  It is just a clunky program that holds patient records.  For all its flaws, Avimark is paid whereas newer programs are very pricey so Avimark is here to stay.    

I want to get all the parts of the AI generated SOAP copied and pasted into about 20 different text boxes in the specific place in Avimark.  I’ll attach what the Avimark SOAP looks like.  

Hi ​@drowninginpaperwork 

For apps to be used in Zap steps, the app needs to be a web app that is based in the cloud.


Even if the app itself is not web based or stored on the cloud, it’s still *possible* (but highly improbable) to integrate with online software. It still needs some kind of “door” or access point that someone could access. In the online SaaS world, that access is given through an API. 

Maybe you could talk to the developers of Avimark to see if they have that. And if not, is it possible for you to manually upload data to it? And if so, how? That’s another potential access point, but still require some advanced dev work.


Avimark is notoriously not cooperative with other apps.

As a tech dumby, I was thinking of the old computer viruses that took control of your computer and started clicking all kinds of things on your computer.  
I was thinking that a benign version of that could move the data from the text of the SOAP into Avimark.  

No?


Hi ​@drowninginpaperwork,

 

Integrating Avimark with other applications may be challenging without API access or third-party support. While creative solutions like using automation programs exist, they can violate terms of service and pose security risks. Zapier relies on APIs for secure, reliable integrations, so contacting Avimark about API access or considering alternative software with better integration capabilities may be the best approach.

 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
