Overview
eClinicalWorks (eCW) is a leading ambulatory EHR and practice management platform serving over 850,000 providers and 130 million patient records across diverse care settings. Known for its comprehensive feature set and affordable pricing for small-to-medium practices, eCW provides integrated clinical, billing, and patient engagement tools. Stream Health's eCW integration enables seamless patient data consolidation, revenue optimization, and remote patient monitoring program deployment for practices of all sizes.
With eCW's strong presence in primary care, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), and specialty practices, Stream Health delivers the clinical intelligence and revenue cycle insights that eCW users need to thrive in value-based care arrangements while maximizing fee-for-service reimbursement.
Key features:
- eCW FHIR API Integration: Direct connectivity to eCW's patient records, clinical data repositories, and practice management systems. Our integration retrieves patient demographics, encounters, diagnoses, procedures, medications, lab results, immunizations, and clinical documentation through eCW's certified FHIR APIs.
- RPM/RTM Program Deployment: Launch CPT-reimbursable remote patient monitoring (RPM) and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) programs with full integration into eCW workflows. Stream Health identifies eligible patients, enrolls them in monitoring programs, tracks device data, and generates billable encounters (CPT 99453-99454, 99457-99458, 99091) automatically documented in eCW.
- Automated Care Gap Detection: AI-powered analysis combined with licensed Nurse Practitioner review identifies missed preventive services, chronic disease management opportunities, and annual wellness visit eligibility. Care gap alerts appear directly in eCW's patient chart and health maintenance module.
- External Record Consolidation: Stream Health retrieves fragmented patient records from other providers, health information exchanges, hospital systems, and specialist consultations—consolidating everything into eCW's patient chart. This provides complete longitudinal patient histories that improve clinical decision-making and identify additional billing opportunities.
How it works
Stream Health connects to eClinicalWorks via FHIR APIs and eCW's integration framework, establishing secure, HIPAA-compliant access to your patient data. Our platform retrieves clinical and demographic information from eCW, then consolidates external patient records from other healthcare systems, HIEs, CommonWell, Carequality, and direct provider connections.
The consolidated patient data flows through Stream Health's AI-powered gap-in-care analysis engine, which compares patient histories against evidence-based care guidelines including HEDIS measures, USPSTF preventive service recommendations, CMS chronic care management criteria, and payer-specific quality programs. Every identified care gap undergoes review by a licensed Nurse Practitioner to ensure clinical appropriateness and accuracy.
For remote patient monitoring programs, Stream Health identifies eligible patients based on diagnosis codes (diabetes, hypertension, CHF, COPD, etc.), generates patient enrollment lists, tracks device-collected data (blood pressure, glucose, weight, pulse oximetry), and creates billable encounters automatically documented in eCW with appropriate CPT codes and supporting clinical notes.
Consolidated patient summaries, care gap alerts, and RPM encounter documentation are delivered back to eCW via API write-back, appearing in the patient chart, clinical inbox, and health maintenance tracking modules. Revenue cycle teams receive detailed billing reports showing identified opportunities, CPT codes, patient eligibility, and estimated reimbursement.
Benefits of integrating eCW with Stream Health
- Zero-Cost Implementation: No upfront investment, capital expenditure, or software licensing fees required. Stream Health operates on a performance-based model where we're paid from the incremental revenue we generate—aligning our success with yours.
- Fast ROI: Practices identify $5M+ in new revenue opportunities within 90 days of deployment. For a typical 5,000-patient primary care practice, Stream Health identifies 12,000+ care gaps annually worth $4-6M in reimbursable services, with 30-40% closure rates in the first year generating $1.2-2.4M in realized revenue.
- Clinical Confidence: Every care gap is reviewed by a licensed Nurse Practitioner before being presented to providers, ensuring clinical appropriateness and reducing alert fatigue. Unlike pure AI systems that generate false positives, Stream Health's NP validation delivers clinically actionable recommendations providers trust.
- RPM/RTM Revenue Streams: Launch profitable remote monitoring programs without hiring additional staff or managing device logistics. Stream Health handles patient enrollment, device provisioning, data monitoring, and billing documentation—generating $50-100 per patient per month in recurring CPT reimbursement (99457, 99458, 99091, 99453-99454).
- Value-Based Care Success: Improve performance in MIPS, HEDIS, Medicare Advantage Star Ratings, and ACO quality measures through systematic care gap closure. Practices using Stream Health see 25-40% improvement in quality measure compliance within 12 months, translating to higher value-based care bonus payments and shared savings distributions.
- Seamless eCW Integration: No disruption to existing clinical workflows, no separate portals for providers to learn, no additional documentation burden. All Stream Health insights appear natively within eCW's familiar interface, ensuring high provider adoption and minimal training requirements.
- FQHC-Optimized: Special features for federally qualified health centers using eCW, including UDS (Uniform Data System) reporting support, sliding fee scale considerations, and grant program quality measure tracking. Stream Health helps FQHCs maximize both fee-for-service reimbursement and quality reporting for federal funding.
