Hello Community,

As you may know, the next release FHIR R5 is currently published in "beta". Right now, it is undergoing a quality review. And we'd like to invite YOU to participate in this process! 

Your task, if you wish to accept it 😉, is to check text descriptions, copy editing, and grammar. To facilitate this quality review, ClinFHIR is being used, which is a web tool used for developer education on FHIR and to help developers to visualize FHIR data and to plan out the building of FHIR applications. For instructions on how to do the quality review of FHIR R5 read this short document. The application you will use to do the quality review is here.

This is how ClinFHIR  looks in action for this FHIR R5 Quality Review:

Newbie here...

I am looking to use fhir to gather patients in our end point that have a certain diagnosis and or certain insurance.

Is this what fhir can be used for?

In the past I have done the normal SQL query/extract to CSV file.  Looking to use fhir for this for future.

Thanks in advance for your time

Question Martin Staudigel · Jan 9, 2023

Hello community,

is there anything special to consider when running a foundation production regarding purge jobs (Ens.Util.Tasks.Purge)? I am thinking specifically of the QuickStreams, which according to my information are stored in a temporary database until the system is restarted. Since a system reboot is much less frequent then the purges, I wonder what happens to the QuickStreams whose messages and headers have already been purged. Is there a way to view Quickstreams (not content, but rather metadata) e.g. via the Management Portal?

Thanks for your comments and hints,

best regards, Martin

Hi InterSystems Developers!

Recently I've updated the FHIR dev template so that it now publishes an IPM package fhir-server that makes the setup of InterSystems FHIR server a trivial manual or automatic or programmatic procedure one command long.

Please see below how you can benefit from it.

TLDR

USER>zpm "install fhir-server"

All the details below.

In this article, we'd like to describe Med.me's incubation experience and takeaways, the cross-organizational booking problem, and our approach to solving it.

This exciting story started during one of the regular medtech meetups, where I met @Evgeny Shvarov, senior InterSystems chief of the Developer Community. Following the good old startup rule “pitch wherever you can”, I briefly explained to Evgeny Med.me concept – EHR exchange and appointment scheduling platform to automate and simplify communication between clinics, pharma on one hand and insurance companies, doctors, and patients on the other.

Evgeny listened carefully and replied that InterSystems provides plenty of products to solve the interoperability problems amongst the vast variety of EMRs and kindly advised me to hurry up to apply to the FHIR incubator Caelestinus powered by InterSystems.

That led to a start of an amazing 9-months long road where we were able to ramp up our understanding of interoperability,  participate at the InterSystems Global Summit,  find new customers and partners, and where the new concept of Resource Availability Exchange was born.

Hi!

I'm playing with OAuth2 with FHIR Server, but returned tokens cause 401 or 403 errors when trying to get FHIR resources.

I tried using fhir-client.js and Postman. Access tokens returned have been failing for both, with a 401 when trying through fhir-client.js and a 403 using Postman.

Here are my settings:

Cures Act USCDI/ C-CDAv21 certification. I am looking for SDA3 examples for Newman-Bates-Kid/registry settings/advices on how to learn / whatever is helpful. InterSystems  xsl files are clean but I am not working very often with xsl. I am mainly looking at Provenance and Clinical Notes, the 2 last errors we have. InterSystems documentation, so far I know, is very poor: only classes and some pages. Support has a small knowledge about SDA3 -> C-CDAv21 even if they try very hard to help.

Poor glycemic control is associated with a greater risk of miscarriage, NICU admission, operative delivery, and shorter gestational periods. Especially at risk are those with preexisting diabetes, who would benefit from maintaining near-normal glycemia before conception. All DIP patients would benefit from earlier referral to the diabetes service. Emphasis is placed on the early detection and effective treatment of DIP to achieve normoglycemia if associated complications, perinatal mortality, and maternal morbidity are to be reduced. Earlier diagnosis, lifestyle management, and treatment of

Hello community,

on my first steps with processing FHIR requests, I tried to create a capability statement resource an returning its content JSON or XML, depending on what is requested by the client.

I create a CapabilityStatement object by parsing a JSON file with:

#dim tCapStat as HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.CapabilityStatement = ##class(HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.CapabilityStatement).FromJSONFile("/opt/home/data/fhir/UkerQsCapabilityStatement.json","vR4")

Hello everyone, I’m a French student in academical exchange for my fifth year of engineering school and here is my participation in the FHIR for Women's Health contest.

This project is supposed to be seen as the backend of a bigger application. It can be plugged into a Front End app and help you gather information from your patients. It will read your data in local and use a Data Transformation to make it into a FHIR object before sending it to the included local FHIR server.

Question Martin Staudigel · Nov 22, 2022

Hello Community,

when trying to send HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request objects to an external FHIR server, I get errors: ERROR #6156: No match between server name '...' and SSL certificate values '...'. The reason is pretty clear, the problem is that we don't get correct certificates in time, but have some pressure to go live with the interface.

In the SSL/TLS Configuration "Server certificate validation" is set to none. Is there a way to temporarily disable this kind of certificate validation (sending unencrypted via http is no option) in the service settings, or anywhere else?
