Why teams connect AWS S3 and eClinicalWorks

Get the data locked inside eClinicalWorks into AWS S3 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 Documents, Diagnostic reports, Patients, Appointments from eClinicalWorks into tables in AWS S3 continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in AWS S3 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 Archive change history from ongoing syncs as timestamped files for audit and replay.
  • 04 Ingest partner or vendor file drops (CSV, JSON, Parquet) from a bucket into a database or CRM as records.

Common sync patterns

Where eClinicalWorks accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in AWS S3 sync back onto records in eClinicalWorks, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in AWS S3 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 AWS S3 as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between AWS S3 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.

AWS S3 objects eClinicalWorks objects How this pairing syncs
Multipart Uploads The mechanism used to write large export files reliably. Diagnostic reports Structured result reports grouping observations for a study or panel. Multipart Uploads is specific to AWS S3 and Diagnostic reports to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level containers a sync targets; region and policy are set at this level. Patients Demographic records exposed via FHIR Patient resources and HL7 ADT feeds; the anchor for all clinical syncs. Buckets is specific to AWS S3 and Patients to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects The stored files (CSV, JSON, Parquet); syncs read them as datasets or write exports into them. Appointments Scheduling records available via FHIR and HL7 SIU messages, synced for reminders and outreach. Objects is specific to AWS S3 and Appointments to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. Encounters Visit records tying diagnoses, providers, and billing context together. Prefixes is specific to AWS S3 and Encounters to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. Practitioners Provider records used to keep directories and scheduling systems consistent. Object Metadata is specific to AWS S3 and Practitioners to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Versions Prior copies retained when versioning is enabled, relevant for reprocessing. Observations Labs and vitals, delivered via FHIR resources or HL7 ORU result messages. Object Versions is specific to AWS S3 and Observations to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS S3 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.

AWS S3 eClinicalWorks Sub-second propagation

DetectionAWS S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

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

eClinicalWorks AWS S3 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 written to AWS S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • AWS S3: Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes.
  • eClinicalWorks: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and interface throughput agreements.
