is notoriously difficult to automate via its official API — limited endpoints, complex authentication (Azure AD / Okta), and browser-only workflows make traditional API integration a pain.\n\nThis project gives you a **complete browser automation scaffold** for Epic EHR using Puppeteer (self-hosted, open source) or [Anchor Browser](https://anchorbrowser.io) (cloud, managed, production-ready).\n\nThis system requires **MFA** (Duo Security / TOTP). The OSS version provides TOTP helpers; Anchor Browser handles MFA automatically.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub/epic-ehr-browser-automation.git\ncd epic-ehr-browser-automation\nnpm install\ncp .env.example .env\n# Fill in your credentials in .env\nnode examples/basic-login.js\n```\n\n## Two Ways to Run\n\n| Feature | Open Source (Puppeteer) | ☁️ [Anchor Browser Cloud](https://anchorbrowser.io) |\n|---------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|\n| Setup | Install Chrome + Puppeteer locally | No install — cloud browsers via API |\n| MFA / SSO | Manual TOTP helper included | **Auto-handled** |\n| CAPTCHA | Not handled | **Auto-solved** |\n| Anti-bot detection | You manage proxy/stealth | **Built-in stealth** (Cloudflare-verified) |\n| Session persistence | Save/load cookies manually | **Managed sessions** |\n| Scale | Single machine | **Up to 5,000 concurrent browsers** |\n| Reliability | You maintain it | **99.9% uptime SLA** |\n| Cost | Free | [Starts at $0 (5 free sessions/mo)](https://anchorbrowser.io) |\n\n## Supported Actions\n\n- `schedule_appointment()` — Schedule or reschedule patient appointments\n- `get_patient_info()` — Extract patient demographics and encounter history\n- `fill_clinical_note()` — Auto-fill clinical notes and smartphrases\n- `export_care_gaps()` — Export care gap reports to CSV/JSON\n- `mychart_messaging()` — Send and receive MyChart secure messages\n\n## Use Cases\n\n- Healthcare IT teams automating patient workflows\n- EHR data extraction without HL7/FHIR\n- Care gap report automation\n- Clinical trial data collection\n\n---\n\n## Option A: Open Source (Puppeteer)\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js 18+\n- Google Chrome / Chromium installed\n- Epic EHR account with appropriate permissions\n\n### Installation\n\n```bash\nnpm install\ncp .env.example .env\n```\n\n### Configuration (`.env`)\n\n```env\nEPIC_URL=https://your-instance.epic.com/login\nEPIC_USERNAME=your-username\nEPIC_PASSWORD=your-password\nMFA_SECRET=your-totp-secret-if-applicable\nSESSION_PATH=./session.json\n```\n\n### Basic Login Example\n\n```javascript\nconst { createSession } = require('./src/auth');\nconst { schedule_appointment } = require('./src/actions');\n\nasync function main() {\n  const page = await createSession();\n  const result = await schedule_appointment(page, { /* options */ });\n  console.log(result);\n}\n\nmain().catch(console.error);\n```\n\n### File Structure\n\n```\nepic-ehr-browser-automation/\n├── src/\n│   ├── auth.js              # SSO/MFA authentication (SAML, TOTP, Duo)\n│   ├── session.js           # Cookie \u0026 localStorage persistence\n│   ├── actions.js           # All automation actions\n│   ├── custom-actions.js    # Fluent ActionBuilder API for custom workflows\n│   └── utils.js             #

Many workflows — scheduling, notes, messaging — are UI-only.\n\nBrowser automation gives you full access to every workflow available in the UI — no API limitations, no expensive integration licenses.\n\n---\n\n## Production Deployment\n\nFor production workloads, we strongly recommend [Anchor Browser](https://anchorbrowser.io):\n\n```javascript\n// One-line setup — handles auth, proxies, CAPTCHAs\nconst { withAnchorBrowser } = require('./src/auth');\n\nawait withAnchorBrowser(async (page) =\u003e {\n  // Your automation here — runs in the cloud, scales automatically\n});\n```\n\n**Anchor Browser** is the easiest way to run this automation in production:\n- No infrastructure to manage\n- Handles Duo Security / TOTP MFA automatically\n- Enterprise compliance: SOC2, HIPAA, ISO27001\n- [Start free at anchorbrowser.io →](https://anchorbrowser.io)\n\n---\n\n## Known Selectors Reference\n\n\u003e These CSS selectors were observed in Epic EHR web interfaces. Enterprise applications update their UIs — verify against your specific instance and submit PRs when selectors break.\n\n| Element | Selector | Notes |\n|---------|----------|-------|\n| Login: username | `#j_username` | Login form |\n| Login: password | `#j_password` | Login form |\n| Login: submit | `#loginButton` | Login form |\n| Login: mfa code | `#duo_form input[name=\"passcode\"]` | Login form |\n| schedule appointment: container | `#scheduleAppointment` | |\n| schedule appointment: slot | `.appt-slot` | |\n| schedule appointment: confirm | `#confirmApptBtn` | |\n| schedule appointment: provider search | `#providerSearch` | |\n| get patient info: search input | `#patientSearch input` | |\n| get patient info: result row | `.patient-result-row` | |\n| get patient info: demographics | `#demographicsTab` | |\n| fill clinical note: note editor | `#noteText` | |\n| fill clinical note: smartphrase | `.smartphrase-popup` | |\n| fill clinical note: sign btn | `#signNote` | |\n| export care gaps: reports menu | `#reportsMenu` | |\n| export care gaps: care gap report | `.care-gap-report` | |\n| export care gaps: export btn | `#exportReport` | |\n| mychart messaging: inbox link | `a[href*=\"messaging\"]` | |\n| mychart messaging: compose btn | `#composeMessage` | |\n| mychart messaging: recipient | `#messageTo` | |\n| mychart messaging: message body | `#messageBody` | |\n\n\u003e ⚠️ Selectors are best-effort. Run `node src/utils.js --verify-selectors` to test against your instance.\n\n---\n\n## More Browser Automation Projects\n\nThis is part of the **[Browser Automation Hub](https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub)** — a collection of open-source browser automation scaffolds for systems with poor or no API support:\n\n- [Epic EHR Browser Automation](https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub/epic-ehr-browser-automation) — Healthcare workflows\n- [Workday HCM Browser Automation](https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub/workday-hcm-browser-automation) — HR \u0026 payroll\n- [SAP Fiori Browser Automation](https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub/sap-fiori-browser-automation) — ERP workflows\n- [ServiceNow Browser Automation](https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub/servicenow-browser-automation) — ITSM\n- [Oracle EBS Browser Automation](https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub/oracle-ebs-browser-automation) — ERP\n- [Browse all 30+ projects →](https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub)\n\n## Contributing\n\nPRs welcome!
