Hi Everyone,

I'm currently implementing an interface solution to send through data to community pharmacies here in the UK from our hospital PAS system. As part of this project i have created a BPL which calls a SQL operation to infiltrate our Data warehouse and add to the message - this is all done and working as i expect.

What I now need to implement is something through Workflow- the idea is the hospital pharmacy team wish to approve and authorise the message before it is sent onto the outbound operation, so i have set up the workflow, set up the actions to enable the pharmacist to approve

Hi Developers!

InterSystems FHIR contest has been started and in this post, I want to introduce several topics you may find interesting and use to build FHIR applications with InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Amongst them are:

• a frontend mobile or web app for FHIR server FHIR REST API or SQL;
• Backend apps to perform complex queries and maintain rules;
• work with different HL7 data standards.

See the details below.

Hi Community!

We are pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR Contest Kick-Off Webinar! The topic of this webinar is dedicated to the FHIR Programming Contest.

On this webinar, we will talk and demo how to use the IRIS-FHIR-Template to build FHIR solutions using InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Date & Time: Tuesday, August 11 — 11:00 AM EDT

Speakers:  
🗣 @Evgeny Shvarov, InterSystems Developer Ecosystem Manager

What awaits you at this webinar?

I have a service named FTP_In that is of class EnsLib.HL7.Service.FTPService.   It picks up files from multiple subfolders and sends them to an EnsLib.HL7.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine.   What I want to do is somehow capture the subfolder as a variable for use in the routing rules.  Is this possible?

Let's say I have the following files and directory structure on my FTP Server

I want the Routing Rule to be able to send anything that came from the /green/ folder to one operation and from /yellow/ to another.

I am putting together a new interface to take in a CSV file and output an HL7 message.

I have used the record mapper to create the source class and I am putting together the transform, but when trying to test it I am not seeing the data populate the HL7 as intended.

Also.... if I put a <DatofBirth> in the tester, it shows up in the HL7 as I would expect..... that's what really has me scratching my head here.

Greeting IRIS Community,

I need some help converting XLT (XML) into DTL (XML) pragmatically using COS or any other available options in IRIS for health.
It is for HL7-TO-nonHL7 translation. 

See the following xlt content as an example that i have in XML Format.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../../server/stylesheet/xltconfig.xsl"?>

I'm trying to get a count of specific message type with a specific entry and thought I could build the query in Message Viewer but  this does not provide counts (as far as I am aware). So when I take the SQL from 'Show Query' it omits the segment criteria as the code shows below. 

 I have attached the criteria that has been excluded. Is this possible?

Thank you

Good morning all,

Could we please get some insight on what is possible (or what other organizations may be using) for tracking uptime for our HL7 engine?  We can use Activity Tracking to show how many messages went through, but are there any good canned reports (or queries) about the number of message failures or the amount of time that an interface was down?

We are using alerting to the team to know about not getting messages or if messages failed.  Has anyone created a report or dashboard against the Ens.Alert table or would you recommend elsewhere?

We are being tasked to track for SLA pu

Hi,

Can anyone  point me to an example of a DTL & Class method that can pull a base64 encoded PDF out of a MDMT02 message?

This is really asking for two things;

- how to make a DTL that extracts a specific subfield of an HL7 2.3 message into a message of its own,

and

- how to transform an base64 encoded document into its original binary form for writing to a file.

I'd also love to see an example of an HL7 2.n MDM^T02 ==> HL73.ITK2 non-coded CDA

I've seen some snippets in the community Q&A, but I've not been able to find any examples either here, or in the documentation or training mater

Hi,

We are using IRIS, and have some systems that we send data to that cannot accept messages with certain fields larger than a particular size.

Is there any way to utilize the schema to truncate any fields that are larger than the entered data?

I've tried just setting the max lengths and doing the transform, but it puts in the entire string, and can't find a topic for it.

There are a large number of fields that need to be truncated, so it would be ideal to get it to respect the hl7 schema maximum lengths.

ie for the XPN name fields, each name may not be larger than 20 characters.

Hi, I have a timestamp of 201906192359 with a HL7 and I need to add a minute to it to get 201906200000. Is there an easy way within Healthshare to do this?

It seems easy enough within SQL but I cannot get the SQL to work within Healthshare,  this is what I have for SQL which does the job in SQL Server.

 SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(16),DATEADD(mi,1,STUFF(STUFF(@test,11,0,':'),9,0,' ')),120),'-',''),' ',''),':','');

Within Healthshare I've tried to use this SQL to populate a :dateout variable using this code but it isn't updating :dateout. (datein: = 201906192359)

Hello,

We are wondering how could we iterate over a segments list,

The use case is that we are sending from Process X to process Y a message, only if at the OBR4 CE1 there is a certain code.  We were getting this field as follows:

set context.studyReason = request.GetValueAt("ORCgrp(1).OBRuniongrp.OBRunion.OBR:UniversalServiceIdentifier.Identifier")

How could we iterate over the following message and get both OBR4 CE1 (1 and 2):

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>

Hello community,

I am receiving a HL7 message over TCP connection.

I have to set up  a process/operation to produce a daily file with this HL7 messages to be created in a directory using EnsLib.File.OutboundAdapter
and EnsLib.HL7.Operation.FileOperation. The file needs to have a header line added each time it is created and a footer .I did not find any standard class file under File Adapter which will create header/footer. 

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
