Why teams connect Apache Hive and eClinicalWorks

Get the data locked inside eClinicalWorks into Apache Hive as live tables, and send results back where eClinicalWorks can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever eClinicalWorks is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Diagnostic reports, Patients, Appointments, Encounters from eClinicalWorks into tables in Apache Hive continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Hive can also be written back into fields in eClinicalWorks where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push referral or intake data captured in external forms into the EHR via HL7 interfaces.
  • 02 Sync patient demographics and appointments into a CRM so patient outreach and intake teams work from current data.
  • 03 Bridge a legacy Hadoop warehouse to a cloud warehouse during migration by syncing tables continuously.
  • 04 Extract curated Hive tables into operational databases or SaaS tools so business teams use data locked in Hadoop.

Common sync patterns

Where eClinicalWorks accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Hive sync back onto records in eClinicalWorks, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Hive preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of eClinicalWorks or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on eClinicalWorks's data

Records and events from eClinicalWorks land in Apache Hive as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between Apache Hive 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.

Apache Hive objects eClinicalWorks objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed results available in newer Hive versions for faster reads. Patients Demographic records exposed via FHIR Patient resources and HL7 ADT feeds; the anchor for all clinical syncs. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Hive and Patients to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
ACID Tables ORC-backed transactional tables that support row-level insert, update, and delete. Appointments Scheduling records available via FHIR and HL7 SIU messages, synced for reminders and outreach. ACID Tables is specific to Apache Hive and Appointments to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metastore Catalog The schema registry other engines (Spark, Presto, Impala) also read. Encounters Visit records tying diagnoses, providers, and billing context together. Metastore Catalog is specific to Apache Hive and Encounters to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Metastore namespaces that scope tables and grants. Practitioners Provider records used to keep directories and scheduling systems consistent. Databases is specific to Apache Hive and Practitioners to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Managed Tables Tables whose data lifecycle Hive controls, used as warehouse destinations. Observations Labs and vitals, delivered via FHIR resources or HL7 ORU result messages. Managed Tables is specific to Apache Hive and Observations to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External Tables Tables over existing files in HDFS or object storage, read without moving data. Medications Prescription and medication-list data within the patient record. External Tables is specific to Apache Hive and Medications to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Hive 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.

Apache Hive eClinicalWorks Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Hive for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on partition values or timestamp columns.

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

eClinicalWorks Apache Hive 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 Apache Hive as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Hive: No API quotas; query latency reflects the batch-oriented execution engine underneath.
  • eClinicalWorks: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and interface throughput agreements.
