Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping

The foundation of a robust Dynamics NAV and Epic integration lies in precisely mapping and transforming core business entities. Our iPaaS, enhanced with AI, simplifies this complex process, ensuring data integrity and consistency across your healthcare ecosystem.

Patient (Epic) / Customer (Dynamics NAV)

Synchronizes patient demographic and contact information from Epic's FHIR Patient resource to Dynamics NAV's Customer record, providing a unified view for billing and financial management.

Dynamics NAV Fields

No. Name Address City Post Code Country/Region Code Phone No. E-Mail Currency Code Customer Posting Group

Epic Fields

id identifier (MRN, SSN) name (given, family) gender birthDate address telecom (phone, email)

Mapping Notes

Epic's `identifier` (MRN) is typically mapped to a custom field or the `No.` field in NAV after ensuring uniqueness. Epic's `name` components are concatenated or mapped to specific `Name` fields. Address fields require careful parsing and standardization. A default `Customer Posting Group` might be assigned in NAV.

GET, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/Items Retrieve item master data and update inventory levels (for medical supplies).
GET, POST, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/SalesOrders Create sales orders (e.g., for services rendered) and track their status.
GET, POST /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/SalesInvoices Generate and retrieve sales invoices (from Epic Claims).
GET, POST, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/PurchaseOrders Create purchase orders (for medical supplies/services from Epic workflows).
POST /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/GenJournalLines Post general journal entries, including payment applications (Cash Receipt Journal) and financial adjustments.
GET, POST, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/Resource Manage resource records for practitioners and locations.

Transformation Logic

  • Identifier Harmonization: Map Epic's MRN (Medical Record Number) to a unique 'External ID' field in NAV's Customer entity, ensuring a consistent cross-system identifier.
  • Address Standardization: Parse and reformat Epic's unstructured address fields (line, city, state, postalCode) into NAV's specific address lines, applying country-specific formatting.
  • Code Translation: Convert Epic's clinical service codes (e.g., CPT, HCPCS) to Dynamics NAV's item numbers or general ledger account codes for accurate billing and cost tracking.
  • Date/Time Conversion: Adjust date and time formats to ensure compatibility between Epic (ISO 8601) and NAV's regional settings.
  • Currency Conversion: Automatically convert transaction amounts between different currencies if required, leveraging exchange rates within NAV or external services.
  • Status Mapping: Translate Epic's claim or appointment statuses into corresponding status codes or flags in NAV (e.g., 'Claim.status: active' to 'Sales Invoice.Status: Open').

🛡️ Error Handling

  • API Downtime: Epic or NAV API is temporarily unavailable. (Mitigation: Exponential back-off retries, circuit breaker, alerts).
  • Data Validation Failure: Epic sends an invalid address, or NAV rejects a Sales Invoice due to missing customer. (Mitigation: AI-assisted pre-validation, data cleansing, dead-letter queue for manual correction).
  • Duplicate Record Creation: A patient already exists in NAV but Epic sends new patient data. (Mitigation: Intelligent duplicate detection logic based on multiple fields, configurable merge/reject strategy).
  • Schema Mismatch: A new field is added in Epic not yet mapped in iPaaS. (Mitigation: Schema drift detection, AI suggests new mappings, alerts).
  • Rate Limit Exceeded: Epic's FHIR API returns a 429 error. (Mitigation: Dynamic throttling, queuing, exponential backoff).
