Technical Integration Details: NopCommerce to Epic Data Flow

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for connecting NopCommerce and Epic. By leveraging native APIs, webhooks, and advanced data transformation capabilities, we ensure seamless data exchange and workflow automation.

Data Flow Steps

Secure API Connection: Establish secure, authenticated connections to NopCommerce's RESTful API and Epic's FHIR APIs (via Open Epic) using OAuth 2.0 and API keys stored in encrypted vaults.

Event Listener/Webhooks: Configure NopCommerce webhooks for critical events (e.g., New Order, Customer Registration, Inventory Update) to trigger real-time iPaaS workflows. For Epic, utilize FHIR event subscriptions or polling for specific data changes.

Data Extraction: iPaaS extracts relevant data entities (e.g., NopCommerce Order, Customer; Epic Patient, ServiceRequest) from the source system upon trigger.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Data is mapped, transformed, and validated using low-code visual tools to align NopCommerce's schema with Epic's FHIR standards (LOINC, SNOMED, etc.) and internal data models. AI assists in suggesting complex mappings.

Business Logic & Validation: Apply custom business rules (e.g., fraud detection, compliance checks, mandatory field validation) within the iPaaS before data is sent to the target system.

Data Ingestion: Transformed and validated data is securely sent to the target system's API endpoints (e.g., Epic FHIR POST /Patient, NopCommerce PUT /api/inventory).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Robust error handling, automatic retries, dead-letter queues, and real-time monitoring ensure data integrity and system reliability. Alerts notify administrators of any issues.

Status Updates & Reconciliation: Updates from the target system (e.g., Epic 'ServiceRequest' status, 'Supply Item' inventory) are synchronized back to the source (NopCommerce OrderStatus, StockQuantity) to maintain consistency.

Data Touchpoints

NopCommerce: Customer, Order, Product, Inventory, Address, Payment Transaction, Shipment, ReturnRequest
Epic: Patient, Appointment, Encounter, ServiceRequest, Observation, Practitioner, Organization, Claim, MedicationRequest, Location, Supply Item

"NopCommerce (New Order/Customer) --[Webhook/Event]--> iPaaS --[Data Transform & Validate]--> Epic (Create/Update Patient/ServiceRequest/Supply Item) --[Status Update]--> iPaaS --[Status Update]--> NopCommerce"

Data Mapping

Key Data Entities & Field-Level Mappings

Achieving seamless integration hinges on precise mapping of core data entities between NopCommerce and Epic. Our iPaaS provides intelligent tools to harmonize these disparate data structures, ensuring semantic consistency and data integrity.

Customer (NopCommerce) / Patient (Epic)

Synchronizing customer profiles from NopCommerce to Epic patient records, and vice-versa, to maintain a unified view of individuals engaging with both platforms.

NopCommerce Fields

Id Email Username FirstName LastName BillingAddressId ShippingAddressId RegisteredDateUtc PhoneNumber Gender

Epic Fields

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

Mapping Notes

NopCommerce `CustomerId` maps to Epic `Patient.identifier` (external ID). `Email`, `FirstName`, `LastName`, `PhoneNumber`, `Address` fields are directly mapped. NopCommerce `Gender` (if custom field) maps to Epic `Patient.gender`. Deduplication logic is crucial based on email and/or MRN.

Automated Medical Device/Supply Ordering for Patients

A patient orders a specific medical device or recurring supply (e.g., diabetic supplies, wound care kits) from a NopCommerce-powered online store. The iPaaS automatically creates a corresponding 'ServiceRequest' in Epic linked to the patient's record, updates inventory, and initiates billing/insurance verification.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Patient places order on NopCommerce for a medical supply.
  2. 1 NopCommerce webhook triggers iPaaS flow for 'New Order'.
  3. 2 iPaaS extracts Customer and Order details.
  4. 3 iPaaS queries Epic FHIR API for existing Patient record using identifiers (e.g., email, MRN). If not found, a new Patient record is created.
  5. 4 iPaaS maps NopCommerce Product to Epic 'Supply Item' or 'Medication' (if applicable) and creates an Epic 'ServiceRequest' for the ordered items, linking it to the Patient and relevant Encounter (if applicable).
  6. 5 iPaaS triggers Epic's billing system to process the ServiceRequest, potentially submitting a 'Claim'.
  7. 6 iPaaS updates NopCommerce with order status (e.g., 'Processing', 'Payment Verified') from Epic.
  8. 7 Once fulfilled (via Epic/WMS), iPaaS updates NopCommerce 'Shipment' details and 'OrderStatus'.

Business Outcome

Streamlined patient self-service, accurate patient records, automated billing, real-time inventory adjustments, improved patient satisfaction.
