InterSystems Developer Community is a community of 25,648 amazing developers
We're a place where InterSystems IRIS programmers learn and share, stay up-to-date, grow together and have fun!

To manage the accumulation of production data, InterSystems IRIS enables users to manage the database size by periodically purging the data. This purge can apply to messages, logs, business processes, and managed alerts.

Please check the documentation for more details on the settings of the purge task:

Introduction

In a previous article, I presented the IRIStool module, which seamlessly integrates the pandas Python library with the IRIS database. Now, I'm explaining how we can use IRIStool to leverage InterSystems IRIS as a foundation for intelligent, semantic search over healthcare data in FHIR format.

This article covers what I did to create the database for another of my projects, the FHIR Data Explorer. Both projects are candidates in the current InterSystems contest, so please vote for them if you find them useful.

You can find them at the Open Exchange:

In this article we'll cover:

  • Connecting to InterSystems IRIS database through Python
  • Creating a FHIR-ready database schema
  • Importing FHIR data with vector embeddings for semantic search

Hello community,

is anybody located in the DACH area healthcare sector working with Dedalus Orbis as patient master and uses a custom HL7 schema for parsing Orbis message structures into Health Connect?

We're facing a migration and I ask myself if I have to create a schema by myself, based on the pdf documentation given by the company. This is a tedious task, so hopefully there is somebody out there willing to share his or her experience.

Kind regards,

Martin

⏯️ Introducing InterSystems Go tHE DIStance

InterSystems Go tHE DIStance is a next-generation care management solution aimed at helping health plans address rising unmanaged healthcare costs and declining quality ratings, particularly in chronic condition management like diabetes. The platform integrates rich, real-time clinical data (rather than relying solely on delayed claims data) into interactive views that can track HEDIS performance, identify care gaps, and support targeted, personalized outreach through built-in communication tools. Care managers can access a unified clinical record, engagement history, and recommended next actions to improve both individual patient outcomes and broader population health.

Cache SQL - Cached Query error

Hello to all the Cache Experts out there and Happy Friday!

The company I work for uses Cache 2017.1.3 and we have been seeing intermittent errors in the Cache Error Trap when an SQL query runs. The error message looks like the error is occurring within the cached query routine that Cache auto-generates. Unfortunately, when I pulled up the routine in the SMP System Explorer, I only found an obj version, so was unable to look at any code.

Hi everyone,

I’ve set up a scheduled task in InterSystems IRIS to run every night at 2:00 AM, but it doesn’t seem to trigger consistently. Some nights it works as expected, but other times it just skips without any error in the logs.

The task is marked as enabled, and there are no conflicts in the Task Manager. I’ve double-checked the system time and time zone settings all looks fine.

Hi everyone,
I'm getting prepared to take the following certification exam: "InterSystems IRIS Development Professional".

Can you give some advice on how to prepare (aside from the official course page: https://www.intersystems.com/certifications/intersystems-iris-development-professional/ )?
Do you have examples of quiz questions that simulate the real exam or any material that helped you getting prepared?

Hi,

I'm trying to run some scripting in Windows. I'm using an instance of the IRISHealth community.

I'm just trying to run a simple sequence of commands so I can run irissession in a non-interactive mode, like:

irissession.exe IRISHEALTH -U "%SYS" < "myprogram.iris"

The contents of my program.iris are, for instance, these ones, to run an online backup:

⏯️ Being READY to Tackle Healthcare Enterprise Challenges in a Few Clicks

Managed Cloud Solutions to Help Streamline Your Health Services.

This demo showcases composing several InterSystems Managed Cloud Services to solve various use-cases.

The video is actually built of 6 short chapters (each ~2.5 minutes long) showing each part of the story, demoing a different service.

You can watch each "chapter" individually if you're interested in a specific service, but there is value in viewing the whole composition and observing the full flow.

  • 0:00 Health Connect Cloud - Medical Device MQTT - HL7v2 for Hospital Operation Systems
  • 2:29 FHIR Server & FHIR Transformation Service - HL7v2 to FHIR & Repository for Regulation & Exchange
  • 5:21 FHIR SQL Builder - Providing standard relational access to FHIR data
  • 7:22 "FHIR IntelliChat" (see note below) - Natural human language chat with FHIR Server
  • 9:37 OMOP Solution - FHIR to OMOP transformation & OMOP database with OHDSI tools compliance
  • 12:54 InterSystems Data Studio for Health - Creating a multi data/app sources fabric

[Note the "FHIR IntelliChat" part is not an actual formal InterSystems service, it is just a demonstration of a possibility (based on this solution by @José Pereira) ]

Concatenation Issue

I am trying to add a value to my concatenation string and the value is not being inserted in the right place. I am adding onto this code from another developer and cannot seem to get it to work. The only code I have added is underlined in bold red.

This is how the translated HL7 message looks:

OBX|1|CE|CDX^History||Specimen 1 Clinical History: CLINICAL HISTORY\.br\\.br\Specimen 2 Clinical History: CLINICAL HISTORY 2\.br\Specimen 1 Suspected Clinical Diagnosis\.br\Specimen 3 Clinical History: HISTORY 3\.br\Specimen 2 Suspected Clinical Diagnosis

I am testing vectorsearch, while doing so I am trying to paginate my resultset for a "next page" function to give me the first, second, third 15 entries within a table.

For this I have two embedding classes. One with a HNSW Index (vectornomicembedtextlatest) , and one without (vectornomicembedtexttest).

Calling SELECT ID,PRIMKEY FROM SQLUser.vectornomicembedtexttest LIMIT 5 OFFSET 1 works fine with the first entry having the rowID of 486448. (I deleted old entries in the beginning and reused the table)

I used <Route Url="/test/(.*)" Method="POST" Call="test"/> and <Route Url="/test/:path" Method="POST" Call="test"/> and I got the error <PARAMETER> what could it be?

API Manager Port Error

When making calls through the Dev Portal, we have observed that port 8003 is being used in the construction of URLs, as demonstrated in the attached image. However, requests should be directed to port 8000. This behavior consistently results in the error shown in the image.

Is it possible to change the port generated in the URL?
