Immediately after connecting, the "Oracle Health (Cerner) Two-Way Sync & Data Control Hub" opens automatically on the "Import (Data In)" tab. Click "Import from Oracle Health (Cerner)" to pull hospital practitioner roster & clinical schedules via API, or use "Upload CSV / JSON File into Master Shift Schedule & Staff Roster" to batch-import records directly into Master Shift Schedule (/portal/scheduling).
Create & Push New Records (+ Add Data Tab)

Push Data Out (Outbound Sync & Formatted CSV Batch Export)
Open the "Export (Data Out)" tab in the Sync Hub (or click "Push Data Out" from Master Shift Schedule at /portal/scheduling). Select your active billing cycle or pay period, review the live record counts (Scheduled Shifts & Verified Timecards), and click "Export to Oracle Health (Cerner)" for direct API transmission or "Download CSV Batch" for manual upload into Oracle Health (Cerner).
Configure Auto-Sync Rules & Verify HIPAA Audit Logs
Open the "Data Controls" tab to toggle Auto-Sync Data In (Inbound), Auto-Sync Data Out (Outbound), Sync Frequency (Real-time, Hourly, Daily, Manual), and Duplicate Record Handling. Switch to the "Sync Logs" tab at any time to inspect timestamped inbound/outbound receipts.
Pro-Tips & Best Practices
- Use the Connected Integrations bar at the top of Master Shift Schedule (/portal/scheduling) to trigger 1-click "Pull Data In", "Push Data Out", or "+ Add Data" without leaving your workspace.
- If your Oracle Health (Cerner) plan does not include API access, leave the API key blank to use CSV upload in "Import (Data In)" and formatted CSV batch downloads in "Export (Data Out)".
- Use the "Sync Logs" tab to verify timestamped inbound and outbound sync receipts for HIPAA and Joint Commission audits.
Troubleshooting & Operational Edge Cases
Issue: Oracle Health (Cerner) shows "Sandbox Mode" instead of "Live API Verified"
Operational Resolution: This means Oracle Health (Cerner) was connected without an API key. While Sandbox Mode lets you upload CSV/JSON files and test "+ Add Data" immediately, to enable live API calls open Oracle Health (Cerner) > "Manage Data & Sync" > "API Key" tab, paste your Oracle Health (Cerner) token and Account/Subdomain ID, and click "Save & Verify API Key".
Issue: Timesheet, candidate, or payroll batch rejected by Oracle Health (Cerner)
Operational Resolution: Check that all records in the batch have matching identifiers or email addresses in Oracle Health (Cerner), or use the "Download CSV Batch" button in the "Export (Data Out)" tab for direct file import into Oracle Health (Cerner).
Issue: Where do my imported records from Oracle Health (Cerner) appear?
Operational Resolution: Imported records from Oracle Health (Cerner) are saved directly into Master Shift Schedule & Staff Roster. Click the "Master Shift Schedule" link inside the "Import (Data In)" tab or navigate to /portal/scheduling in the left sidebar.
