#Certification #HL7 #Ensemble #Health Connect #InterSystems IRIS

Hi group,

I am trying to take the InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist certificate test.

So is this an open book test? is there any Lab involved with vm? I did the search but I am not able to find such information.

I am trying to find out more information before I actually take the test.

Thank you

Hi Yuhong,

The InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist certification exam is not an open book exam. It consists of a series of 68 multiple choice/multiple response questions. You can read more about the exam here.

If you already have the InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist certification, and that certification is within 6 months of its expiration date, then you have the option of extending your certification by 5 more years by taking the performance-based recertification project. In this project, you are given a vm with an IRIS instance and your task is to create an HL7 production according to the provided specification. You can read more about the recertification project here.

Please feel free to ask any more questions here or you can email your questions to certification@intersystems.com

It looks like the exam browser tried to access a Windows wifi api and was prevented from doing so. The reason could be that you didn't start the exam browser with admin privileges or you are using a work computer and your user account doesn't have sufficient privileges to access this wifi api.

If using a work computer, then one solution is to contact your IT department and ask to elevate your account privileges so that exam browser can start correctly, or to use your own personal device to take the exam.

Feel free to reach out to our exam vendor, for support with starting the Safe Exam Browser.

I have got it resolved. Thank you

I wish there is more clear statement about how to take the exam. It turned out I need to download the safe exam browser from official site, not through the direct link in the test webpage. I will see what other issue it could have once I get the test done hopefully tomorrow.
