Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and NextGen Healthcare

Mirror NextGen Healthcare's data into IBM AS/400 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 NextGen Healthcare 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 IBM AS/400.

Stacksync mirrors Clinical Documents, Medications & Allergies, Lab Results, Insurance / Coverage from NextGen Healthcare into Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers in IBM AS/400 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 NextGen Healthcare, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed referral data into intake workflows so new patients are registered without rekeying.
  • 02 Sync patient demographics into a CRM for engagement and intake workflows.
  • 03 Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • 04 Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.

Common sync patterns

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 NextGen Healthcare with a query

Records from NextGen Healthcare are ordinary rows in IBM AS/400; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate NextGen Healthcare from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM AS/400 and Stacksync propagates the change into NextGen Healthcare, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and NextGen Healthcare

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.

IBM AS/400 objects NextGen Healthcare objects How this pairing syncs
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Clinical Documents Notes and attachments exchanged with referral and document-management workflows. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and Clinical Documents to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Medications & Allergies Clinical list data read via standardized FHIR resources for care coordination. Physical files (tables) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Medications & Allergies to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Lab Results Result data read for patient-facing portals and analytics. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Lab Results to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Insurance / Coverage Payer and eligibility data reconciled with billing and clearinghouse systems. Members is specific to IBM AS/400 and Insurance / Coverage to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Charges & Billing Practice-management financial data synced for revenue-cycle analytics. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and Charges & Billing to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Patients Demographic records synced to CRMs and engagement tools for outreach and intake. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and Patients to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and NextGen Healthcare

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.

IBM AS/400 NextGen Healthcare Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

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

NextGen Healthcare IBM AS/400 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls NextGen Healthcare for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, typically filtering on last-updated timestamps.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
  • NextGen Healthcare: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and healthcare data-access agreements.
