AS/400 (IBM i) automation for healthcare

Patient intake forms, insurance claims, paper lab reports - your staff types them into AS/400 (IBM i) systems line by line, every day. legacy bridge eliminates that step - connecting directly to your AS/400 (IBM i) over TN5250 and entering data automatically from scanned documents, exactly as your operator would. No RPG changes. No software on your system.

The problem

Front-desk and back-office staff manually re-key patient intake forms, insurance claims, and paper lab reports into AS/400 (IBM i) menus - whether you run Infor Lawson (S3), McKesson pharmacy systems, or a legacy EMR/EHR and patient management application. This creates two problems:

  • Transcription errors in patient records and claims that trigger denials and compliance findings
  • A single point of failure - when your operator leaves, the workflow stops

How it works

1

Upload or scan the document

A photo, PDF, or scan of the intake form, insurance claim, or lab report is uploaded to the legacy bridge console. No special format required.

2

AI extracts the fields

legacy bridge reads the document using vision AI - pulling patient identifiers, insurance policy numbers, diagnosis and procedure codes, service dates, and any other configured fields.

3

Data enters your AS/400 (IBM i) via TN5250

The agent navigates your AS/400 (IBM i) menus, locates the correct fields, and types the data - exactly the same way your operator does. Every keystroke is logged.

4

Human review on exceptions

If confidence is below threshold or a field is ambiguous, the agent stops and flags it for human review before writing anything to your system.

What you get

Automated extraction

Patient demographics, policy numbers, diagnosis codes, lab values - pulled directly from intake forms, claims, and paper reports.

Audit-ready validation

AI cross-references patient identifiers and dates of service. Full SHA-256 audit chain on every entry - built for HIPAA-regulated workflows.

Legacy sync

Automatically populates Infor Lawson (S3), McKesson, and legacy EMR/EHR menus without manual typing or human error.
