Why teams connect eClinicalWorks and Elasticsearch

Mirror eClinicalWorks's data into Elasticsearch 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 Elasticsearch.

Stacksync mirrors Practitioners, Observations, Medications, Allergies from eClinicalWorks into Indices, Documents, Index mappings, Aliases in Elasticsearch 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 Land encounter and billing-context data in a warehouse for utilization and revenue-cycle reporting.
  • 02 Feed appointment events to reminder and messaging platforms to reduce no-shows.
  • 03 Push product catalog data from an ERP or commerce database into Elasticsearch for storefront search.
  • 04 Mirror support tickets into an index used for full-text search and agent-assist tooling.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in eClinicalWorks arrive as row changes in Elasticsearch, 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 Elasticsearch; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between eClinicalWorks and Elasticsearch

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.

eClinicalWorks objects Elasticsearch objects How this pairing syncs
Documents Clinical notes and attachments referenced from the chart. Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Practitioners Provider records used to keep directories and scheduling systems consistent. Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Practitioners is specific to eClinicalWorks and Ingest pipelines to Elasticsearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Observations Labs and vitals, delivered via FHIR resources or HL7 ORU result messages. Index templates Reusable settings and mappings applied automatically to new indices a sync creates. Observations is specific to eClinicalWorks and Index templates to Elasticsearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Medications Prescription and medication-list data within the patient record. Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. Medications is specific to eClinicalWorks and Indices to Elasticsearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Allergies Allergy and intolerance entries in the clinical record. Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. Allergies is specific to eClinicalWorks and Index mappings to Elasticsearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Immunizations Vaccination history exposed for registries and patient apps. Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. Immunizations is specific to eClinicalWorks and Aliases to Elasticsearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between eClinicalWorks and Elasticsearch

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.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • eClinicalWorks: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and interface throughput agreements.
  • Elasticsearch: No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity.
