With 2019.1, InterSystems IRIS for Health now officially supports self-service BI tools using ODBC connections, specifically Tableau and PowerBI.   Customers interested in using these are encouraged to take the Power BI survey or Tableau survey; this feedback will help us in providing dedicated connectors to these tools in a future release.
