Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and eClinicalWorks

Mirror eClinicalWorks's data into Amazon DynamoDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like eClinicalWorks through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Amazon DynamoDB.

Stacksync mirrors Appointments, Encounters, Practitioners, Observations from eClinicalWorks into Tables, Items, Global secondary indexes (GSIs), Local secondary indexes (LSIs) in Amazon DynamoDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into eClinicalWorks, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync patient demographics and appointments into a CRM so patient outreach and intake teams work from current data.
  • 02 Land encounter and billing-context data in a warehouse for utilization and revenue-cycle reporting.
  • 03 Mirror a high-write DynamoDB table into a relational database so teams can join NoSQL application data against relational tables for reporting.
  • 04 Use DynamoDB Streams as a change-data-capture source to push item INSERT, MODIFY, and REMOVE events into a CRM, search index, or operational database in near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in eClinicalWorks arrive as row changes in Amazon DynamoDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read eClinicalWorks with a query

Records from eClinicalWorks are ordinary rows in Amazon DynamoDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and eClinicalWorks

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Amazon DynamoDB objects eClinicalWorks objects How this pairing syncs
Global Tables Multi-region, active-active replicas of a table kept in sync by DynamoDB; each region is read and written locally with last-writer-wins conflict resolution. Diagnostic reports Structured result reports grouping observations for a study or panel. Global Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Diagnostic reports to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time to Live (TTL) Per-item expiry timestamps; DynamoDB deletes expired items in the background and emits a Streams REMOVE record for each deletion. Patients Demographic records exposed via FHIR Patient resources and HL7 ADT feeds; the anchor for all clinical syncs. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Patients to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Top-level containers, each with a partition key and optional sort key; Stacksync syncs a table as a stream of items with full read and write via PutItem, UpdateItem, and DeleteItem. Appointments Scheduling records available via FHIR and HL7 SIU messages, synced for reminders and outreach. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Appointments to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Individual schemaless records (attributes up to 400 KB each); read with GetItem, Query, and Scan and written with PutItem or BatchWriteItem, so write is supported here. Encounters Visit records tying diagnoses, providers, and billing context together. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Encounters to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global secondary indexes (GSIs) Alternate key projections that let you Query by non-key attributes without a full table Scan; read-only views maintained automatically by DynamoDB. Practitioners Provider records used to keep directories and scheduling systems consistent. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Practitioners to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local secondary indexes (LSIs) Extra sort keys within the same partition key, defined at table creation; queried like the base table for alternate access patterns. Observations Labs and vitals, delivered via FHIR resources or HL7 ORU result messages. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Observations to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and eClinicalWorks

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Amazon DynamoDB eClinicalWorks Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon DynamoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to eClinicalWorks through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

eClinicalWorks Amazon DynamoDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls eClinicalWorks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. HL7 interface feeds push event messages as they occur.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon DynamoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon DynamoDB: Throughput is metered in read/write capacity units (provisioned or on-demand): 1 WCU = one 1 KB write per second, 1 RCU = one strongly-consistent 4 KB read per second. Exceeding capacity or the ~3,000 RCU / 1,000 WCU per-partition ceiling returns ProvisionedThroughputExceededException with throttling.
  • eClinicalWorks: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and interface throughput agreements.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and eClinicalWorks connectors work

Amazon DynamoDB

Integration surface
AWS SDK / low-level HTTPS JSON API at dynamodb.<region>.amazonaws.com (PutItem, GetItem, UpdateItem, DeleteItem, Query, Scan, BatchWriteItem, TransactWriteItems), plus PartiQL (ExecuteStatement) for SQL-style access and DynamoDB Streams for change capture.
Authentication
AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) signed requests using an IAM access key ID and secret key, or temporary STS credentials from an assumed IAM role; IAM policies scope access down to table and item level.
Change detection
DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views and 24-hour retention, read via shard iterators (or Kinesis Data Streams for longer retention). No native HTTP webhooks.
