Data Retrieval

Data is retrieved primarily using Elation's webhooks. Zus collects the following data points from Elation as they are created, updated, or deleted:

  • Patient
  • Appointment
  • Allergy
  • Drug Intolerance
  • Immunization
  • Problem
  • Visit Note
    • Zus only loads signed visit notes that are not marked as confidential in Elation
    • After loading a visit note Zus then retrieves a Progress Notes CCDA from Elation for the timeframe of the visit. See more below regarding CCDA ingestion.

Backfill Process

In addition to real-time data retrieval, a backfill process is run when a patient is enrolled and when the ZAP is launched. The backfill fetches historical data across all the aforementioned data points for the patient to ensure comprehensive data synchronization and pulls a Continuity of Care Document (CCD). The backfill process is rate limited run at most once every 7 days.

Data Transformation to FHIR

Below is a list of the data that is pulled from Elation and transformed to FHIR in Zus.

Patient

  • Patient Status
  • First Name
  • Middle Name
  • Last Name
  • Gender
  • Date of Birth
  • Addresses
  • Phone Numbers
  • Email Addresses
  • Patient HIE opt-out status
    • If the Elation EHR has documented that the patient has opted out of sharing data on HIEs then Zus will use that as evidence for the Zus patient opt out, see more details here - How Patient Opt Out Works.

  • Condition Description

Allergy

  • Clinical Status (active or inactive)
  • Onset DateTime
  • Recorded Date
  • Allergy Code (Medi-Span codes)
  • Allergy Description
  • Reaction (manifestation and severity)

Visit Note

  • Participants
  • Location

CCDA

Zus pulls both Progress Note and Continuity of Care Document CCDAs from Elation. These are loaded via the Zus CDA ingestion endpoint and contain data points such as allergies, problems, medications, procedures and more. See documentation of Elations CCDA endpoint here - https://docs.elationhealth.com/reference/get-ccda.

Custom Fields

Zus is able to consume Elation patient custom metadata into the FHIR Patient.extension. This can be useful if there are custom fields that would be helpful when querying Zus data in Snowflake or to drive auto-enrollment (eg. enrolling in a specific Zus subscription package based on a custom field value).

Auto-Enrollment

Zus can auto-enroll any active patient that comes through the data loop using the NPI of the provider assigned to the patient in Elation. We also support a "fallback provider" if there is none documented in Elation. These must be configured by Zus on your behalf.

Any patient marked as inactive in Elation will be subsequently unenrolled from any Zus subscription packages.

Opt-out

Any patient that is updated in Elation to opt-out of HIE data sharing will be subsequently updated to follow Zus's opt out logic - How Patient Opt Out Works.

EHR Data Reconciliation

Conditions surfaced in the ZAP can be written back to Elation through the Zus UI. These writes go directly against the Elation API and should immediately refresh the Elation chart upon success. These writes may sometimes fail due to code system mismatches between Elation and Zus - if you find this to be a persistent, or high frequency, issue then please reach out. The data may not immediately flow back into Zus, but when it does it will be marked with a check mark indicating that the data has been written to your system.
