Data Mapping

Key Entities & Data Mapping Between Epic and Sage X3

Our iPaaS provides sophisticated, AI-assisted mapping capabilities to ensure accurate and consistent data flow between Epic's FHIR-based entities and Sage X3's core business objects. Below are critical entities and their mapping considerations:

Patient (Epic) / Customer (Sage X3)

Synchronizes core demographic and contact information for individuals receiving healthcare services with financial customer master data.

Epic Fields

id (Epic ID) identifier (MRN, SSN) name (first, last) gender birthDate address telecom (phone, email)

Sage X3 Fields

Customer ID Customer Name Address (Billing, Shipping) Contact Information (Email, Phone) Payment Terms Customer Group

Mapping Notes

Epic's 'Patient' is the primary source of truth for demographics. Mapping requires careful reconciliation of identifiers (MRN to a custom field or external reference in Sage X3). Address normalization is crucial. AI assists in suggesting field matches and identifying potential duplicates during sync.
