Implementation and Evaluation of an Offline RPA-Based Scheduling Visualization Tool for Radiotherapy Under Security Constraints.

ABSTRACT: Timely access to radiotherapy appointment information remains challenging in hospitals-including many in Japan-due to fragmented information systems and strict security policies restricting access to databases or application programming interfaces (API). We developed an offline robotic process automation (RPA) workflow that captures scheduling data directly from the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of the electronic medical record (EMR) and radiology information system (RIS) consolidating new-patient consultations, computed tomography (CT) simulations, and first-fraction irradiation sessions into a color-coded, four-week Excel calendar. The robot, scripted using the no-code KEYENCE RK-10 environment, logs into each application, applies rule-based filters, exports comma-separated-values (CS
