eClinicalWorks (eCW) EHR supports a variety of integration methods depending on the data exchange requirements, including HL7v2 integration and FHIR APIs.
To determine which integration method will suit your requirements you will need to work directly with eCW.
1) Contact eClinical Works and provide your integration requirements
If you are provider, who is a direct eCW customer you can reach out to your eCW contact
If you are a vendor, you may want to first identify a provider partner using eCW who can sponsor the integration request. This is the most straightforward approach. You can also contact eCW about developer programs which may not require active customers.
Once in contact with eCW, you’ll need to provide an overview of your workflow, including:
The main objectives and type of data you are looking to read or write (eg. demographics, order/results, scheduling and appointments, etc.)
The direction of data flow between your system and eCW (eg. uni- or bi-directional data flow).
Estimates of the volume and frequency of the data exchange (eg. real-time or daily batch processing).
2) Obtain the appropriate eCW implementation guide
This information will help eCW guide you on the appropriate type of interface (eg. HL7v2 vs FHIR) they can support and provide the necessary implementation guides for development.
The implementation guide will contain information on:
The data format and structure, often containing sample messages which can be used when developing in the Translator.
The transport protocol used to exchange data and any authentication requirements.
