Why teams connect D2l Brightspace and eClinicalWorks

Keep the people, teams, and status that eClinicalWorks and D2l Brightspace share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in eClinicalWorks keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. D2l Brightspace is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Diagnostic reports, Patients, Appointments, Encounters in eClinicalWorks with Users, Enrollments, Org Units, Grades in D2l Brightspace bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in D2l Brightspace creates or updates the matching user in eClinicalWorks within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where eClinicalWorks captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to D2l Brightspace in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

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 Sync Assignment (Dropbox) submissions and feedback into a reporting database or downstream review tool.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Users and Enrollments between Brightspace and an SIS or HRIS so new learners and their course rosters stay aligned without manual CSV imports.

Common sync patterns

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from D2l Brightspace keep the groups, queues, or projects in eClinicalWorks assigned to the right people.

Where eClinicalWorks routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in D2l Brightspace, the queues, ownership, or approvals in eClinicalWorks update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

What you can sync between D2l Brightspace 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.

D2l Brightspace objects eClinicalWorks objects How this pairing syncs
Assignments (Dropbox) Dropbox folders, submissions, and feedback; submission and evaluation data is read into reporting systems and feedback can be written back. Practitioners Provider records used to keep directories and scheduling systems consistent. Assignments (Dropbox) is specific to D2l Brightspace and Practitioners to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups and Sections Group categories, groups, and section membership within an org unit; enrollments are read and written to keep cohort assignments aligned. Observations Labs and vitals, delivered via FHIR resources or HL7 ORU result messages. Groups and Sections is specific to D2l Brightspace and Observations to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users User accounts in the Learning Platform (lp) component; created, read, updated, and deleted through the Valence API and typically synced two-way with an SIS or HRIS. Medications Prescription and medication-list data within the patient record. Users is specific to D2l Brightspace and Medications to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrollments Links between Users and Org Units; enroll/unenroll and batch-enrollment routes let rosters be written from an upstream system and read back for reporting. Allergies Allergy and intolerance entries in the clinical record. Enrollments is specific to D2l Brightspace and Allergies to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Org Units The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database. Immunizations Vaccination history exposed for registries and patient apps. Org Units is specific to D2l Brightspace and Immunizations to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Grades Grade objects, categories, schemes, and per-user grade values in the Learning Environment (le) component; values can be read out and written back onto the gradebook. Documents Clinical notes and attachments referenced from the chart. Grades is specific to D2l Brightspace and Documents to eClinicalWorks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between D2l Brightspace 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.

D2l Brightspace eClinicalWorks Sub-second propagation

DetectionD2l Brightspace notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling Valence endpoints with date/bookmark filters, differential Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) bulk exports for changed rows via the Data Hub, and.

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

eClinicalWorks D2l Brightspace 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 D2l Brightspace through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • D2l Brightspace: Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.
  • eClinicalWorks: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and interface throughput agreements.
