Why teams connect IBM Informix and NextGen Healthcare

Mirror NextGen Healthcare's data into IBM Informix 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 Informix.

Stacksync mirrors Medications & Allergies, Lab Results, Insurance / Coverage, Charges & Billing from NextGen Healthcare into Databases, Tables, Rows, Views in IBM Informix 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 Keep provider directories consistent between the EHR, the website, and scheduling tools.
  • 02 Feed referral data into intake workflows so new patients are registered without rekeying.
  • 03 Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • 04 Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.

Common sync patterns

Automate NextGen Healthcare from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

Updates in NextGen Healthcare arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, 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.

What you can sync between IBM Informix 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 Informix objects NextGen Healthcare objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Lab Results Result data read for patient-facing portals and analytics. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Lab Results to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Insurance / Coverage Payer and eligibility data reconciled with billing and clearinghouse systems. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Insurance / Coverage to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Charges & Billing Practice-management financial data synced for revenue-cycle analytics. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Charges & Billing to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Patients Demographic records synced to CRMs and engagement tools for outreach and intake. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Patients to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Appointments Schedule data read and written for reminders, self-scheduling, and capacity reporting. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Appointments to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Encounters Visit records landed in analytics stores for utilization and quality reporting. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Encounters to NextGen Healthcare — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix 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 Informix NextGen Healthcare Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

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

NextGen Healthcare IBM Informix 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 Informix as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
  • NextGen Healthcare: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and healthcare data-access agreements.
