I have a question where I have over 30 000 records of data that I would like to send in HL7 and was looking at sending these in one bulk messages instead of individual messages in HL7.In this kind of a situation has anyone ever sent a bulk HL7 messages or is there a way of doing this other than using FHIR bundle.

InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) 3.8 is now Generally Available.  IKO 3.8 adds new functionality along with numerous bug fixes and security updates.  Highlights include:

• Compute Groups allows you to deploy more than one type of compute node to handle different types of workloads in a single IrisCluster
• Consolidate Volumes – you can now choose to deploy with fewer volumes, such as consolidating data and WIJ on the same volume.

Follow the Installation Guide for guidance on how to download, install, and get started with IKO.  The complete IKO 3.8 documentation gives you more information

Hello,

I am currently trying to install InterSystems IRIS for Health and specifically the Ensemble integration tool, but I am facing issues.

Here are the details of my setup:

• Version of IRIS: 2025.1 (Community Edition)
• Operating System: [Insert your OS here, e.g., Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04, etc.]
• Issue: I have downloaded IRIS for Health, but I cannot find Ensemble during the installation process. I have tried using the Early Access programs, but Ensemble is not included in the options I can choose. I have also tried installing various versions of IRIS, but still, Ensemble is missing.
• What I

IRIS supports CCDA and FHIR transformations out-of-the-box, yet the ability to access and view those features requires considerable setup time and product knowledge. The IRIS Interop DevTools application was designed to bridge that gap, allowing implementers to immediately jump in and view the built-in transformation capabilities of the product. 

In addition to the IRIS XML, XPath, and CCDA Transformation environment, the Interop DevTools package now provides:

• FHIR-SDA Transformation setup
• SDA-FHIR Transformation setup
• Bubbling up of FHIR validation errors
• Loading of required context for

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-fhir-bridge 
IRIS-FHIR-Bridge is a robust interoperability engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health, designed to transform healthcare data across multiple formats into FHIR and vice versa. It leverages the InterSystems FHIR Object Model (HS.FHIRModel.R4.*) to enable smooth data standardization and exchange across modern and legacy healthcare systems.

Google Forms is the most popular solution on the market for collecting data, answering questionnaires and quizzes. So, it is the ideal solution for collecting patient data and responses in a practical way, without the need to expand or develop systems. In this article, I will detail how to create an account on Google Cloud, register the application that will consume the Google Forms API, generate the service user necessary to consume the API and finally perform actions to create new forms and collect data filled in them in an automated way in embedded Python and IRIS.

Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler
Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.

Introducing the CCD Data Profiler
LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler is a full-stack tool built with Intersystems' technology that streamlines the import, parsing,

Hi all!

I want to create an %Embedding.Config to use with an %Embedding property. I followed the documentation for %Embedding.OpenAI, and it works fine after setting sslConfig, modelName, and apiKey.

However, I need to use AzureOpenAI. While the embedding process is similar to OpenAI's, Azure requires additional connection parameters, like an endpoint. My question is: is it possible to configure these extra parameters with %Embedding.Config, and if so, how?

Hi community.

I was wondering if it was possible to use something like EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter with tables in IRIS.

This library monitors when a record has been inserted into a table in an external database, so it requires a DSN to connect to that database.

My goal is to make a call to an external API that takes a long time, it could spend nearly an hour (or more) completing its processes, but I don't want to block the main process.

That's why I was thinking about having the original production store the indicators it needs to process in a table, and from another production, monitor when a

My use case is I want AI to extract six pieces of key information from medical visit notes.

It works okay with notes from Epic patient portals. I am struggling with one of my own visit Summaries. So far I have not been able to instruct ollama to give me a JSON response where it gave me what I am asking for.

My original medical_progress_notes_prompt was:

Template engines are essential for producing customizable dynamic content, without the need for compilation and opening up great possibilities of extensibility for the template user.Especially if the template engine supports Python.A popular solution for template engine is Mko.It is is a template library written in Python.It provides a familiar, non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance.Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django and Jinja2 templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi.

Hello everyone,

I’m using VS Code with the InterSystems ObjectScript extension and I want to keep my local folder (client-side) as the “source of truth” while still using the built-in Server Source Control features (diff, stage, commit, etc.) against my IRIS/Ensemble instance.

So far:

• I have a local Git repository with my .cls and .mac files.
• I’ve configured "objectscript.serverSourceControl.respectEditableStatus": true and "objectscript.serverSourceControl.disableOtherActionTriggers": false in my .vscode/settings.json.
• I’m able to export and import code manually, and IntelliSense works when

I am trying to log in to the Web Gateway Management and I have missed placed the password to access the system I have tried 

changing the password under local settings in the CSP.ini  and that has managed to change the password to access the gateway but cannot log me into the management area I have followed a post here and read here and I seem not to get the answers that actual explain how I can get to the web gateway management.

I understand that changing the user in the management portal does not change the password set up in the installation to access the web management gateway if anyone has

Let me introduce you to FHIRCraft, a lightweight tool to generate synthetic FHIR resources.

Now, you might be thinking:
“But wait — doesn’t Synthea already do that, and with tons of resources?”
Exactly — and that’s precisely why I created this app.

FHIRCraft is designed to generate simpler, smaller, and more focused FHIR resources. Unlike Synthea, it doesn’t aim to simulate entire patient histories or clinical workflows. Instead, it helps when you’re just getting started with FHIR — when you want to test things incrementally, or explore how specific resources behave in isolation.

    set pResponse = ##class(osuwmc.COM.Response.StringResponse).%New()
    if responseData.count =1{
      set pResponse.COMPortalURL = responseData.items.%Get(0).portalUrl
      set pResponse.COMPureID = responseData.items.%Get(0).pureId
      set pResponse.COMTitle = responseData.items.%Get(0).titles.%Get(0).va

Is there syntax in the schedule specifications for specifying the "last" occurrences?
e.g., instead of WEEK-01-04 (1st wed's of month), WEEK-LL-04 (last wed's of month) or
instead of *-*-01 (1st of every month), *-*-LL (last of every month)
I searched the documentation and community forum, but didn't see anything that addressed this question.

Hi everyone,

It's me again😁. As usual I would like to share something I study recently, and today, I would like to share about the document DB😁.

1st of all, let's go to the documentation https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GDOCDB_intro
Well, I must say, this one is much better to follow than the others, which I read before. 😭 Finally😭😭

Ok, let's start walking through it together
