Hi colleagues!

Often when we collaborate to someone's repo in GitHub we do the following cycle:

Fork-Clone-Change-Commit-Push-Pull-Request-Merge to the original repo.

This is all great and works fine!

And if we want to make a second collaboration right after the merge you need to perform "Fetch upstream" to your forked repo first to "ingest" your own Pull-request in the original repo.

Geeky git-professionals do it with ease but this was always a headache for me so I usually simply deleted the fork and created a new one.

And today I figured that Github added a new UI feature that I can easily fetch-upstream for my fork with the original one and make it up to date and capable for pull-requests.

Here is where the button is:

This is a relief! )

Wanted to share this relief and productivity tip with you!

Bring more collaborations to Github repos!

And speaking of PR - I just made a PR with docker to Google Cloud Run deployment for the FHIRaaS demo made by @Anton Umnikov for the current FHIR Contest! Looking for more of your contributions!

I cannot convert the R4 version of the JSON file through the built-in dtl, and convert it to SDA, I hope to get an answer, thank you very much

Hi Community,

Please welcome the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

Episode 18 of Data Points features a discussion with Regilo Souza, Patrick Jamieson, and Evgeny Shvarov about the new InterSystems IRIS® FHIR Accelerator Service. This new product offers a turnkey solution for FHIR application developers, and there is an upcoming developer community programming contest around it!

Hi  Developers,

A new video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Getting Started with HL7 Routing Rules

I am attempting to POST a Bundle containing a resource to an ISC-based Resource Repository. Documentation says "batch" interaction is fully supported - so I assume this is possible.

I post to the FHIR base URL, but I get the following back: " The requested URL /customfhir/r4 was not found on this server."

The bundle I use to post to create a patient resource is very simple (see below). I am using a request.method of POST because I want the Resource Repo to create a new fhir resource id.

I'm using Postman to generate the request.

Hi Developers,

See how a FHIR implementation can be built in InterSystems IRIS for Health, leveraging both PEX and InterSystems Reports:

Hi Community,

Find out how to work with FHIR profiles and conformance resources when building FHIR applications on InterSystems IRIS for Health:

⏯ Working with FHIR Profiles in InterSystems IRIS for Health

Hello, developers!

In this article, we will focus on OAuth2, a protocol that is increasingly being used in combination with FHIR to perform authorization.

In this part 1, we will start up the Docker container for IRIS for Health and Apache, configure the OAuth2 authorization server function on IRIS for Health, access it from the REST development tool Postman, and obtain an access token. Besides, in Part 2 and beyond, we will add FHIR repository functionality to IRIS for Health, add OAuth2 resource server configuration, and explain how to execute FHIR requests with access tokens from Postman.

Hey Developers, 

See how the InterSystems IRIS FHIR Server allows you to develop and deploy your FHIR applications on AWS without manual configuration and deployment:

⏯ Putting a match to FHIR with Postman Newman

Hello Newman

So given the STAR method on how to introduce Newman with this effort, here it goes.

SITUATION

We are facing a Production implementation of a FHIRIS® Resource Server, fronted with a robust API Manager, Web Gateways for speed and availability, though not entirely relevant, the implementation is on Public Cloud, namely, Amazon Web Services.

For those that want to catch up on the FHIR-related content in our Virtual Summit 2020 I put together a list of the Focus Sessions:

Hi All,

  I know hundreds of people have done this but I'm looking for some DTL's as a start to do HL7 to FHIR, I appreciate everyone's HL7 is slightly different, but just some starter DTL's would be much appreciated?  Can anyone help?

Hi Community!

We're pleased to invite you to the Online meetup with the winners of the InterSystems FHIR programming contest!

Date & Time: Friday, September 4, 2020 – 11:00 EDT

What awaits you at this virtual Meetup? 

• Our winners' bios.
• Short demos on their applications.
• A short interview with all the winners about the past contest. Plans for the next contests.

Hi Developers!

The InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR Contest is over. Thank you all for participating in our FHIR Competition!

And now it's time to announce the winners! 

A storm of applause goes to these developers and their applications:

Hey Developers!

This week is a voting week for the InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR Contest!

So, it's time to give your vote to the best FHIR solutions built with InterSystems IRIS for Health.

🔥 You decide: VOTING IS HERE 🔥

How to vote? This is easy: you will have one vote, and your vote goes either in Experts Nomination or in Community Nomination.

The fhir-react project defines a unique component which renders the interface based on FHIR resource type. There's no need for any configuration because the library uses the standard of defined by the resource type.

So, I decided to apply the same idea, but for charts. The basic idea is depicted below:

For instance, some FHIR resources like Observation, Condition etc., has a code. Thus, we can aggregate all codes and count them.

Such aggregation creates a standard data model.

Finally, this model could be adapted for any char library.

As I said in the previous article, I started to learn about FHIR for the contest, and I'd like to share an update in my application: detection of inconsistencies in FHIR data.

Note: This document it's also availble in GitHub.

A useful usage for FHIR unified schema is search for inconsistencies. As suggested by @Qi Li, one example could be find patients with records for diabetes medication, however, without diabetes condition.

Another example is search conditions with findings (like diabetes, for instance) and a record for resources denoting "no known problems", e.g.

Hi Developers!

Here're the technology bonuses for the FHIR programming contest that will give you extra points in the voting:

• FHIR Server REST API usage 
• The usage of SQL Schema of FHIR Resources 
• Healthcare standards data transformation
• Docker container usage

See the details below.

Hi,  

In my previous articles, one of the most exciting things about FHIR that I mentioned it's the wide range of possibilities that we have and not only for creating something but the ways to achieve this goal.

Whats NLP Stands For?

NLP stands for Natural Language Processing which is a field of Artificial Intelligence with a lot of complexity and techniques to in short words "understand what are you talking about".

And FHIR is...???

FHIR stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources and is a standard to data structures for healthcare. There are some good articles here explainig better how FHIR interact with Intersystems IRIS.

My Solution

Chatbot to query FHIR

Hi Community, 

I shared my experience working with FHIR for the first time in this article.

In that article, I wrote how I explored the FHIR Resources and talked about the information that I found useful in FHIR documentation.

The first version of my app only shows the information that FHIR Resource provides. 

I wanted to make the user able to update the patient details, so I to search for an example of how to do it. 

The Github page of fhir.js has an example of how to update a resource. 

Looking at this example made me think that it was effortless.

Hi Community,

I want to share my experience creating the iris-fhir-portal with FHIR.  

I decided to take a step forward and join the IRIS for Health FHIR contest, but I had never worked with FHIR before.

After the FHIR Contest Kick-Off Webinar, where we got an overview of how the IRIS for Health works with FHIR, I started to looking at the FHIR documentation to create my Patient Chart project.

At HL7 FHIR (release 4) website, I found a "Resource Map":

The leading FHIR Resource for my Patient Chart it's the "Patient Resource".

Hi guys.

Recently, I get interest in FHIR in order to run for the IRIS for Health FHIR contest. As a beginner on this topic, I've heard somewhat about it, but I didn't know how complex and powerful was FHIR. As pointed out by @Henrique.GonçalvesDias here, you can model several aspects of the patient history and other related entities.

Fortunately, the DC provide very nice material about FHIR and how IRIS for Health could help us to deal with such complexity.
