Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced "fire") is a draft standard describing data formats and elements (known as "resources") and an application programming interface (API) for exchanging electronic health records
I want to share with you an interesting solution that will allow you to perform integration testing for your healthcare applications. Let me introduce you to Pandora – a FHIR server testing software designed by Fyrstain, offering cutting-edge solutions for healthcare interoperability testing.
InstallFoundation method is missing (IRIS 2023.2+)
Recently IRIS 2023.2 was released. This version removed this method InstallFoundation from this class HS.HC.Util.Installer. This was a private method and it was not documented. But it was widely used by the community to install FHIR server.
So if you encounter this error:
<METHOD DOES NOT EXIST> *InstallFoundation,HS.HC.Util.Installer
While build a demo our your own FHIR server, you can fix it by replacing this line:
We have received quite a lot of interest in using SQL on FHIR data. As you know, FHIR data is encoded in the form of a complex directed graph, and thus you can not easily query it with traditional SQL queries or business intelligence tools. Some customers have noticed that the "FHIR search tables" in IRIS for Health have flattened part of the FHIR graph, and have tried to use them for analytics. This is an undocumented and unsupported part of IRIS for Health, and can change without notice.

Did you know that with InterSystems IRIS for Health™, you can create a FHIR Facade that enables healthcare apps to send and receive HL7® FHIR® data? Find out how in this learning path(3h 30m), which includes a hands-on exercise(20m).
I have been successfully able to transform hand-written medical test results documents to HL7 ORU_R01 v2.x, then to SDA, which will be trasformed to FHIR or C-CDA.
However, I have a category of documents which contains reference range in multiple date formats, which are measured for each gestation period. For example, below is one of the documents.
FHIR has revolutionized the healthcare industry by providing a standardized data model for building healthcare applications and promoting data exchange between different healthcare systems. As the FHIR standard is based on modern API-driven approaches, making it more accessible to mobile and web developers. However, interacting with FHIR APIs can still be challenging especially when it comes to querying data using natural language.
In our previous article we saw how to configure our EMPI to receive FHIR messages. To do this we installed the FHIR Adapter that InterSystems made available to us that configured a REST endpoint to which we could send our FHIR message. We would then get the message and transform it to a %String that we would send via TCP to the output of our EMPI configured in our HSPIDATA namespace.
Alright, it's time to see how we retrieve the message, transform it back to a %DynamicObject and parse it to the class used by the EMPI to store the information.
Hi all! Wanted to share a recent video we created with InterSystems FHIR expert, Russ Leftwich, covering some of the most frequently asked questions with FHIR. Let us know if you have more questions for a future iteration of this!

In previous articles we have seen how to configure and customize our EMPI, we have seen how we can include new patients in our system through HL7 messaging, but of course, not everything is HL7 v.2 in this life! How could we configure our EMPI instance to work with FHIR messaging?
As said in the previous article about the iris-fhir-generative-ai experiment, the project logs all events for analysis. Here we are going to discuss two types of analysis covered by analytics embedded in the project:
I had attempted to create a REST Operation before but did not have success. As I am going through the Tutorials and Documentation everything references REST services, but I have a case where I want to create a REST Operation that makes Epic API calls against Interconnect. I have done SOAP operations before and we currently have one in our Production Namespace, but from what I understand SOAP has the wsdl which defines al the structures and etc, where REST does not.
In a fast-paced clinical environment, where quick decision-making is crucial, the lack of streamlined document storage and access systems poses several obstacles. While storage solutions for documents exist (e.g, FHIR), accessing and effectively searching for specific patient data within those documents meaningfully can be a significant challenge.
Watch this video to learn about InterSystems TrakCare Innovation Toolkit which is a free download that enables TrakCare users to quickly access their data in standard HL7® FHIR® format, making the system of record a system of transformation:

Getting the following error when activating a foundation namespace(FHIR Server). Anyone had this issue before:
<THROW>zAddRecordToLogPersistence+7^HS.HC.Util.Installer.1 *%Exception.StatusException ERROR #5001: Attempt made to use $$$ActivationLog* macros before HSSYS exists
I am looking for a way to serialize fhir content received via interoperability adapter into it´s corresponding ISC model class (e.g. HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.DiagnosticReport) for later use. In my opinion the outline to accomplish this would be something like
1) Receive the FHIR data 2) Get quick stream containing the JSON data 3) Examine if bundle or single ressource 4) For resource serialize to coressponding model class (HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.*) 5) further use of newly created object of type HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.*
