Hi Community:

Thought you might be interested in this new partner we just signed in Sydney -- PainChek® Ltd , the Australian-based developer of the world’s first pain assessment and monitoring application for smartphones. Its software-as-a-service, artificial intelligence platform uses smart devices with cameras to accurately evaluate pain levels. 

PainChek is using InterSystems IRIS for Health™ and integrating its application with electronic medical record (EMR) systems – including InterSystems TrakCare®.

In Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, PainChek’s application is

Good morning, evening, night,... wink

A small reflection/question for today... it's true that new IRIS for Health (I4H) releases are more and more powerful each time regarding FHIR capabilities. Nowadays it allows us to consume FHIR resources with extrem easiness, we can connect with end-points in external FHIR servers very easily and make I4H act as passthrough or consume their resources... or, even more, we can define, configure and run a FHIR repository in, literally, less than 5 minutes.

Question Rob Hughes · Oct 25, 2022

Hi All,
I am a product owner for a 3rd party healthcare product.
We have built FHIR integrations with Cerner and EPIC using their FHIR sandboxes and would like to do the same for Trakcare.
Essentially we can lookup a patient record on the FHIR sandbox and import their demographics into our product. Switch out the sandbox credentials for production and we can integrate directly into the customers data.
Does a similar service exist for Trakcare?
I am new to the InterSystems ecosystem and am struggling to fathom which service does what.

A simple production that enables FHIR transaction bundles to be loaded into InterSystems® FHIR® Server via Box and Dropbox.  Using the included MFT Connection Components and a 14 liner Custom Business Process, this production will process your transaction bundles to FHIR Resources for immediate consumption with Harry Potter like wizardry.  Great for Hackathons, Research and FHIR® Cocktail parties.

Ill start with a short video tour of the production, the MFT Connections, and the Oauth2 app configuration for Box and Dropbox on IRIS, and follow up with some step by steppers to get you going with

We are ridiculously good at mastering data. The data is clean, multi-sourced, related and we only publish it with resulting levels of decay that guarantee the data is current. We chose the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) to land the data, and enable exchange of the data through Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®).

We are also a high performing, full stack team, and like to keep our operational resources on task, so managing the underlying infrastructure to host the FHIR® data repository for purposes of ingestion and consumption is not in the cards for us.

Question Mary George · Sep 28, 2022

Hi, 

I am trying to configure OAuth2 server to connect to Cerner Auth server to get FHIR API access token but I am getting the error "Discovery response not valid".

I can get the access token back okay from Cerner endpoint used in the OAuth configuration below via Postman and Manually sending the request via HTTP Operation from HealthShare, so the URLs I am using looks correct but the OAuth configuration is not working.   

Not sure if this is issue from Cerner side or HealthShare side. I tried enabling debugging but nothing useful.

Hi developers!

Maybe you have to implement scenarios that don't require a FHIR repository, but forwarding FHIR requests, manage the responses and maybe run transformations or extract some values in between. Here you will find some examples that can be implemented using InterSystems IRIS For Health o HealthShare Health Connect.

In these examples I've used interoperability productions with FHIR Interoperability Adapter and HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request messages.

First scenario build a FHIR requests from scratch (it could be from a file, or a SQL query) and then send it to an external FHIR service. image

Following "Adding Custom HL7 FHIR packages to the HL7 FHIR server" at https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1721 I'm able to create an FHIR extension of type string as well as a search parameter.

However, I need to create an extension as well as a search parameter of type Reference. And this is not working.

Did anyone successfully add an extension and search parameter of type Reference?

Put the InterSystems FHIR Server to work at the HL7 FHIR Connectathon in Baltimore last weekend, posting bundles, getting all RESTy with resources, and interrogating the Vulcan Implementation Guide. We straddled the Real World Data (RWD) and Schedule of Activity (SoA) projects for Vulcan IG folks moving the ball forward connecting clinical research and healthcare data. We employed a pretty decent approach to meet the requirements,

Myself along with InterSystems peeps (Huy, Russell, Regilo), were on the hook to support the FHIR Server and data appropriation for the event, if you have ever

Was at an HL7 Connectathon over the weekend and got in a scramble that headed us in the direction of trying out Preview 4 for I4H and found that the USER namespace, and subsequent namespaces created do not have any mappings included with them.

In this GitHub we gather information from a csv, use a DataTransformation to make it into a FHIR object and then, save that information to a FHIR server all that using only Python.

The objective is to show how easy it is to manipulate data into the output we want, here a FHIR Bundle, in the IRIS full Python framework.

Healthcare interoperability is instrumental in improving patient care, decreasing healthcare provider costs, and providing a more accurate picture to providers. However, with so many different systems, data is formatted in many different ways. There are many standards that have been created to try to solve this problem, including HL7v2, HL7v3, and CDA but each one has its drawbacks.

FHIR, or Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, is a new format for healthcare data that aims at solving these problems.

Question Paul Hula · Nov 2, 2016

Hello All,

   Having a recent project to create a FHIR repository, I want to know (as looking at the code) if HealthShare FHIR implementaton supports subscriptions?.  I know it records the subscriptions ok, BUT does it handle sending the subscription out (based on the tags) to an endpoint (i.e. when a new FHIR request commits data that would trigger the subscription) ?, I'm 50% it doesn't, but would rather find out for sure before shoe horning something in.

   Regards

Just wanted to share here a quick post about my project for the Grand Prix :)

FHIR Patient Viewer is a single-page, reactive rendering tool built on Vue.js that displays in a human-friendly way the data returned from a /Patient/{id}/$everything call made to an InterSystems FHIR server.In the readme, I've included 3 main things: 1.A video demo connecting FHIR Patient Viewer to a sandbox IRIS FHIR server (the fastest way to test it); 2.

This article will discuss FHIRQuestionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse from the creation of the form to the upload on the server and how to fill them.

tl;dr :

  • By using this online tool you can easily build your own form from scratch or using a template from an already existing one.
  • By using this InterSystems local FHIR server you can easily store your FHIR resources and Questionnaire.
  • By using this app you can manipulate, as if you were a Practitioner, Questionnaire and Response for each and every Patient on your FHIR server.

It is to be noted that the app doesn't communicate using the Content
