Hello Community,

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the second cohort of the course:

 🧑‍💻 Developing FHIR Applications Using Python 🧑‍💻

This hands-on program is designed for developers who want to build real-world FHIR applications using Python and InterSystems IRIS for Health. 

👉 Watch 5-minute course overview

📅 Second cohort starts March 29, 2026

iris-budget

I created iris-budget app for the InterSystems Full Stack Contest in 2026. By full stack, we mean a frontend web or mobile application that inserts, updates, or deletes data in InterSystems IRIS via REST API, Native API, ODBC/JDBC, or Embedded Python.

My app uses multiple REST APIs to add a new category or retrieve a list of categories of expenses and income.

First web application /csp/coffee

I inherited /csp/coffee from module.xml in iris-fullstack-template.

Second web application /csp/budget

For this project, I created a swagger file called "budget.json." I wanted to use the spec

Inspired by @Ashok Kumar T's post on the ideas portal here as well as my own wishes for a solution to this problem, I have come up with a simple way to allow more complete and consistent JSON queries without having to specify every desired field. I have created a class that extends the built-in %JSON.Adaptor class and makes its %JSONExportToString and %JSONExportToStream methods accessible through SQL with just a couple of simple SqlProc Methods.

Class DH.JSONAdaptor Extends %JSON.Adaptor [ Abstract ]
{
ClassMethod jsonstring(id, map = "") [ SqlProc ]
{
	try{
		set myobj = ..%OpenId(id)

When using VS code with multiple workspaces it requests "The extension 'InterSystems ObjectScript' wants to sign in using InterSystems Server Credentials. 

Other than having multiple workspaces per environemnt (which never really works for me in principle as i end up code comparing in one manner or another) is there a way to only have intersystems log in to VS code whenever you open an actual workspace itself i.e. click on dev not on loading vscode. 

This would also get around errors of "unauthenticated access rejected by" errors as VS code tries to log in without the password first. 

I have a global with multiple nodes : 

^A("ABC") = ""
^A("DEF") = ""
^A(123) = ""

How to create a new single node in that global, in a way it's always at the end of the global (eg: this will be the very last node being enumerated)

I end up with this code but maybe there is a cleaner and simpler approach : 

set ^A($char(65535)) = "" //should be bigger than any character inserted

I only need to write it once, this code is not intended to be used in a loop or something, just to add something at the end (like a footer).
Usually, the naked global would contains the key of the last node, but that's not

Hi Team,

I am working on an ASTM interface using EnsLib.EDI.ASTM.Service.TCPService.

Environment

InterSystems Ensemble / IRIS (please specify your exact version)

Service class extending:

Class Custom.ASTM.Service.TCPService
Extends EnsLib.EDI.ASTM.Service.TCPService
{
Parameter EOTOPTIONAL = 1;

Parameter ADAPTER = "Custom.EDI.ASTM.Adapter.TCPAdapter"
}

Custom Adapter:

Include EnsEDIASTM
Class Custom.EDI.ASTM.Adapter.TCPAdapter Extends EnsLib.EDI.ASTM.Adapter.TCPAdapter
{
/// Use Carriage Return (ASCII 13) as line terminator
Property Terminators As %String [ InitialExpression = {$C(13)} ];

Global Guard AI

1 Introduction

In environments that use InterSystems IRIS, globals are the physical foundation of data storage. Although system queries and administrative tools exist for metric inspection, global growth analysis is usually reactive: the problem is generally only noticed when there is disk pressure or performance impact.

Global Guard AI was developed to create a snapshot-oriented observability layer, aligned with the idea published in DPI-I-512 — and based on the series of articles written by Ariel Glikman, Sales Engineer at InterSystems:

• Part 1 – Data Collection
• httPart 2 –

The 2018.1.12 maintenance releases of InterSystems Caché^®, InterSystems Ensemble^®, and HealthShare^® Health Connect are now Generally Available (GA). 

Please share your feedback through the Ideas Portal using the category Post-Release Feedback so we can build a better product together.

How to

In the modern healthcare landscape, finding clinically similar patients often feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Traditional keyword searches often fail because medical language is highly nuanced; a search for "Heart Failure" might miss a record containing "Congestive Cardiac Failure."

I am excited to share iris-medmatch, an AI-powered patient matching engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health. By leveraging Vector Search, this tool understands clinical intent rather than just matching literal strings.
## The Core Innovation: Semantic Clinical Search

`iris-medmatch` bridges the

The facial recognition has become the most popular method for validating people's identities, thus enabling access to systems, confirmation of personal and documentary data, and approval of actions and documents.
The challenges are related to performance when the database is very large, accuracy, and especially the privacy of biometric facial data. For these challenges, nothing is better than using InterSystems Vector Search, as it allows:

1. Performing vector searches in millions of records with much faster responses than traditional methods.
2. The vector and mathematical models used by Vector

Hello,

First of all thanks for reading this question.

We are migrating our old HealthShare instance to the newest version.

We need to export all the Tasks.

We have tested:

Hello, how are you?

Using Healthshare for Interoperability, we often see a wide variety of encoding issues. Some happen when transforming XML to HL7. Some happen the other ay around transforming HL7 to XML.

Is there a valid way to understand which encoding needs to be used?

I ask, because we use SOAP or REST or TCP HL7 services.

And we deliver messages with TCP HL7, SOAP, HTTP Operations.

And we often face this issue where special characters like ñ or á, are not encoded correctly.

Thanks for your replies.

There are always those who say that their child looks more like their mother or their father. How about using math and Artificial Intelligence to be sure? The facial-matching application can answer you.
