Plug-N-Play on Pattern Match WorkBench

Article to announce pre-built pattern expressions are available from demo application.

AI deducing patterns require ten and more sample values to get warmed up.

The entry of a single value for a pattern has therefore been repurposed for retrieving pre-built patterns.

Example: Email address

Paste an sample value for example an email address in description and press "Pattern from Description".

The sample is tested against available built-in patterns and any matching patterns and descriptions are displayed.

Patterns can also be retrieved by Keyword.

Using OpenEHR with InterSystems IRIS

Occasionally. we get questions about using OpenEHR with InterSystems.   Typically, these discussions focus on why and how an organization wants to implement OpenEHR in building applications. Here’s a brief guide:

  • InterSystems is focused on interoperability:  we prioritize interoperability through standards such as HL7, IHE, DICOM, and ISO. In our experience, no single standard addresses all the needs of complex healthcare data. Thus, we recommend that any implementation of OpenEHR be evaluated in conjunction with these standards and an analysis of which of

Question Rutvik ISM · Aug 19, 2025

I would like to learn about the binary and document reference FHIR Resources. For the PDF data stored in those resources. But I think Binary Resource for the Document PDF stored in FHIR, so this resource is best for it. So sometimes Large PDF 15-page (~35md) data converts into base64 then data length is ~50 lac charecters length of base64binary data. this data store in Binary Resource on data field https://www.hl7.org/fhir/R4/binary.html follow this url this resource used in my case. so it's support the 50 lac charecter of the base64 length? This resource can be Insert into IRIS?

Hi, 
 

My understanding is that IRIS comes with Embedded Python in it, how can create a page using Python instead or Zen or CSP Pages?
maybe a small sample (like hello python page) to get the idea.
Thanks

A benefit of using Doxygenerate is that Doxygen does more than just HTML output. Tweak the Doxyfile that tells Doxygen what to do and you can easily create a PDF. Our example MARINA application yielded a 524-page PDF. Here's what page 94 looks like:

You can browse the whole file here.

In the screenshot above, notice how we only get details of the superclass that is part of the app (AuditHistory). The primary superclass, %Library.SerialObject, is shown faded and with no details of what BankDetails inherits from it.

With another tweak to the Doxyfile we can show full inheritance detail in a 586-pag

Is there a better way (i.e., without string commands) to remove the fractions of seconds from a %Library.PosixTime value?

This works, but seems inefficient:

set stripped = $P(str,".",1)

Question Gigi La Course · Sep 9, 2025

I have a vendor that only wants results on patients that arrive to the ED via EMS/Ambulance.  The value I need for filtering is in the PV2;38. Some of the results requested do not allow the PV2 segment to be added to the schema in the EMR.  I was told that other orgs have used a lookup table that is populated with the PV1;19 value when an ADT messages that meets the criteria is sent in.  This table is then referenced in the business rule for the results that do not have PV2;38 and if Encounter number from result message exists on the Table, the result is sent.  Has anyone done this before?

I have been walking through this with a few team members and as such I thought there might be others out there who could use it, especially if you work with HL7 & Ensemble/HealthConnect/HealthShare and never venture out past the Interoperability section. 

First, I would like to establish that this is an extension of the already established documentation on importing and exporting SQL data found here: https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20241/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GSQL_impexp#GSQL_impexp_import

This tutorial will explicitly detail how to create, populate or update a Data LookUp Table

#InterSystems Demo Games entry


This demo introduces an AI-powered clinical decision support tool built on InterSystems IRIS. The use case addresses clinician burnout by unlocking the wisdom trapped in 30,000 unstructured clinical notes. We showcase IRIS's powerful vector search to perform hybrid (semantic + keyword) queries for complex diagnostic challenges. The highlight is our multi-modal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) assistant, which analyzes clinical video content in real-time to find similar past cases and synthesize evidence-based recommendations, transforming how clinicians access and utilize institutional knowledge.

We currently have Business Operation that we built to use the EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter so we can make Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedure calls. The BO is attached to a Java Gateway Service.

Some of our MS SQL Databases have moved from being OnPrem to Azure Cloud. We have started seeing where we are receiving errors on the BO saying that we cannot connect to the Azure Database, but we never receive a Disconnect from the Azure Database.

Once this happens it seems that the Java Gateway still thinks the connection is opened, and we have to Stop/Start the Java Gateway to get the connection to

Hi Everyone,

So after @Ariel Glikman posted a custom operation example, I'm stuck on another dilemma, and here it is:

  1. I might have different patients with the same business identifier
  2. Each patient (logical) might have several resources like Observations, Conditions and Tasks (there are other type but they are not part of the issue)
  3. Tasks are a representation of something called "Morbidity", it's a presumed illness but not a validated condition
    1. Tasks are created according to observations and/or conditions and the task hold a reference to those resources
    2. A resource such as Observation /

Hello community.

I have a request from a client who wants to do the following.
Currently, they have a data upload process via FTP in which they have implemented a RecordMap to store the information of the CSV files that are uploaded to the FTP directory.
Now they want to have another directory so that it is ONLY executed through an external instruction, not when the file is uploaded to the directory.

Is it possible to create a process that reads the FTP directory on demand? That is, ONLY executes the EnsLib.FTP.InboundAdapter service when we tell it to.
There would be no problem creating an API

Hi

I'm a newbie in productions and I've received the below business operation from a client that I need to include in a production,

So not sure if I'm supposed to create a new Business operation with a new name and select the class as below but then what's next and what should be the output type in X12 tab or if it should be type SCOSwarm.Message.SX3ScheduleResponse?

Or should I be ignoring this class for now, create a new business operation called SCOSwarm.Operation.SX3ScheduleOp copy the code across ...etc but how can I include EnsLib.NullAdapter ?  

Thanks

Hey folks! Having recently onboarded to InterSystems, I realized that despite having a totally free and awesome Community Edition, it's not super clear how to get it. I decided to write up a guide highlighting all the different ways you can access the Community Edition of InterSystems IRIS:

Get InterSystems IRIS Community Edition as a Container

Working with a containerized instance of the Community Edition is the recommended approach for folks who are new to developing on InterSystems IRIS, and in my opinion it's the most straightforward. InterSystems IRIS Community Edition can be found on DockerHub; if you have an InterSystems SSO account, you can also find it in the InterSystems Container Registry.

In either case, you'll want to pull the image you want using the docker CLI:

docker pull intersystems/iris-community:latest-em
// or
docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-em

Next, you'll need to start the container: In order to interact with IRIS from outside the container (for example, to use the management portal) you'll need to publish some ports. The following command will run the IRIS Community Edition container with the superserver and web server ports published; note that you can't have anything else running that depends on ports 1972 or 52773!

docker run --name iris -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 intersystems/iris-community:latest-em
