Does the GetValueAt method of an EnsLib.HL7.message object change the contents of the HL7 message?

We want to do two things, given an incoming HL7 message, in our production:

• transform the HL7 to XML, where the class TNHS.Utils.HL7toXML provides the same methods as, for example, EnsLib.HL7.Util.FormatSimpleXMLv2:

  set sc = message.OutputToLibraryStream(xmlstream,"","","TNHS.Utils.HL7toXML")

   

• extract a value from a particular field in the message: 
  

  Set ReportId = message.GetValueAt("PIDgrpgrp(1).ORCgrp(1).ORC:3.1")

If we sequence these as (1) generate XML, (2) extract value using Get

Hi there,

I'm working on a project where I retrieve RawHL7 message(ORU R01 2.3.1) content from a database in a BPL. I've created a context object of type Enslib.HL7.Message, and I need to populate it with the contents from the RawHL7 message so that I can use this context object as source for my DTL transformation.

Does anyone have suggestions on the best approach to achieve this? I'm looking for guidance on how to efficiently transfer the data from the RawHL7 message to the context object.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Community,

Watch this video to learn how to create new business services and business operations in an HL7 V2 production in InterSystems products:

⏯ Creating HL7 V2 Production Components

Sometimes we need to convert FHIR message to HL7 V2, e.g. to register a patient to the PACS system.
In this article, I will explain the steps to achieve the desired by using IRIS FHIR Server production.

Below are the steps we need to follow:

1. Make sure FHIRServer production is started.
2. Register Business Service with FHIRServer endpoint.
3. Define Business Processes to convert FHIR message to SDA and then Convert SDA to HL7 v2.
4. Post JSON resource to FHIRServer endpoint and get HL7 V2 response.

Let's review the steps in detail.
 

Step 1. Make sure FHIRServer production is started

Open the production page and make sure Production is started. In the next step, we need to make sure business service HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Service is registered with FHIRServer

Hi

Where is hl7 data and how to access after data coming through TCP Service?

The data is automatically saved? In database or queue or cache? How to access from ObjectScript? Any documented example?

Thank you!

Do you ever spend an age entering criteria in the message viewer page, trying to find a message just to realise you're in the wrong instance of IRIS? 

Or get lost in a sea of message tabs struggling to spot that Visual Trace page your were JUST looking at?

Well, have you tried the IRIS WHIZ browser extension and its suite of tools designed to help you avoid such unpleasantness?

An App that converts HL7 messages to JSON objects. About a year ago I started a GitHub repo for collecting stuff related to HL7. Recently my team added an HL7 interface to our Interoperability Production and we were asked to persist HL7 messages. We created a Kafka topic to receive HL7 messages. We use Kafka Bridges to send messages to Kafka topics. Kafka messages are sent to the Kafka Bridge in JSON format.

I contemplated how to transform HL7 messages to JSON. HL7 message Raw Content property provides the HL7 message in String format. I am aware that Raw Content property may give truncate

Hello,

First of all thanks for your help reading and answering this question, and thanks for your time.

We have been investigating how to handle the following need:

Our client which has the system which reveices our ESB's responses needs a SOAP response as follows, where all the ACK is inside a top XML tag called <ACK>:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ACKxmlns="urn:hl7-org:v2xml"><MSH><MSH.1>|</MSH.1><MSH.2>^~\&amp;</MSH.2><MSH.3><HD.1>sistemaExterno</HD.1></MSH.3><MSH.4><HD.1>scs</HD.1>

I am trying to pull out something similar to an HL7 date/time stamp in a custom zen page , in a javascript code section.

Is there and date formatting I can use inside a javascript routine?

Hello, I tried to convert HL7 message to JSON in a business process and I got errors. Has anybody converted HL7 to JSON? Are certain characters not allowed in JSON?

I just tried to set a property to quote request.RAWContent and quote. I will try to put example in GitHub and share here later.

Within a DTL is it possible to access and update the Message Header properties of an EnsLib.HL7.Message?

Currently we have multiple EMR Services for each environment sending to 1 Business Process to Normalize the data, then it is sent to another Business Process to route the data. 

Since the SourceConfigName changes with every send to a Business Process, I am looking for a way to maintain the SourceConfigName of the SessionID so I know how to direct the message. Whether I pull the SourceConfigName into a field not being used in the HL7 Message, or I set another Header or Body property to the

But nothing works as expected.

Hello community,

I am trying to see the complete HL7 message for the class EnsLib.HL7.Message.

But it is showing the truncated version only.

I also tried to convert to stream

d msg.OutputToLibraryStream(.streammsg)
s newmsg=##class(EnsLib.HL7.Message).ImportFromLibraryStream(streammsg)

While (streammsg.AtEnd = 0) {
     Set len = 1000
        Set tPrintMessage=newstream.Read(.len)
     Write tPrintMessage
}

But when i print it, its not showing complete message.

Any idea or suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Does anyone have an effective tool for anonymizing/deidentifying CCDAs for testing purposes?

In part I of this article, we have already learned more about HL7, its messages, structure, segments, and fields. In this part II, we will show you how to transform proprietary/custom data into HL7 using IRIS for Health. For our sample, we used the data generated by the SYNTHEA bulk data generation project (https://synthea.mitre.org/downloads). So, we will show you how to convert 1000 patients from a CSV file to HL7 v2, using the Interoperability features of IRIS for Health.

Hi all

I'm having trouble defining the mapping needed to take the very large base64 string in OBX:5.5, and map it to an XML virtual document property that supports Stream.GlobalCharacter. I know from within the DTL you have to use custom code to manage the segment due to its size.

 set tObx14Value = $piece(rem,"|",10)

Introduction

This article aims to explore how the FHIR-PEX system operates and was developed, leveraging the capabilities of InterSystems IRIS.

Streamlining the identification and processing of medical examinations in clinical diagnostic centers, our system aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of healthcare workflows. By integrating FHIR standards with InterSystems IRIS database Java-PEX, the system help healthcare professionals with validation and routing capabilities, ultimately contributing to improved decision-making and patient care.

How can i modify file extention on output file leaving Busness Operation

This question originally appeared in the comments of the post: Making use of Multiple Sub Transforms in a main map || HL7
 

I'm having a similar problem trying to get PRD(1) into PV1:ReferingDoctor and PRD(2) into PV1:ConsultingDoc
Running the subtransform will populate referring doctor for the first PRD, and then the second running will delete the PV1, make a new one with only the consulting doctor populated.

Was hoping I could use a subtransform to populate the information, but looks like it has to be done at the transform level.

Hi everyone,

It could be great if some of you have had experience in hl7 v2 messages. The question is about FHIR to hl7 v2.5 conversion. I have to translate a binary resource, encoded in base64 into an orl_o22 message. Do you have advices? Which field could be used for that datatype? 
I have found some implementation using nte segment but it is limited in characters.

Good morning,

First of all we would like to thank you for your time reading, thinking and aswering this question.

We have been developing a Transformation to convert a source ORU_R01 to a target ORU_R01. For each OBX segment we need to check an if, and then, if it is true we just need to put this OBX and continue to the next iteration, otherwise, if it is false, we need to put (copy) the ORC + OBR + TQ1 before this OBX, and then put this OBX, and after that, the SPM.

We have been creating and testing two variants. However, none of them gets the desired output, because they fail to out
