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
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.
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.
Surely you have all heard about FHIR as the panacea and solution to all interoperability and compatibility problems between systems. Right here we can see one of his classic defenders holding a FHIR resource in his hand and enjoying it immensely:
But for the rest of us mortals we are going to make a small introduction.
In the context of HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), the terms "id" and "identifier" refer to specific elements used for identifying resources within the FHIR data model. For a newbie, these terms can be confusingly similar, but they serve distinct purposes.
Look at the below Patient resource for August T. Faulkner:
The resource has an id of “1” — generated by the FHIR server when the resource was created. Patient August T. Faulkner also has a identifier (Medical Record Number) — possibly provided by the hospital — of 78510398960
The other day I was reflecting on the possibilities that FHIR brings us in the world of interoperability and electronic medical records and it gave me mixed feelings, let me explain, first a small introduction.
Introduction
As you well know, FHIR is based on parameterizing a series of concepts that it calls resources in JSON or XML format with the intention of covering the most common cases within the healthcare environment, relying on HTTP communications to cover CRUD and query functionalities.
And now you have a great opportunity to get FREE access to the FHIRaaS on AWS! So, to take the first step in mastering the FHIRaaS, you need to register on our FHIR Portal using this link:
We have a mixture of legacy and new systems, and are grappling with the issue of moving documents between systems.
At the moment we are mostly using file drops and encoding metadata in filenames, but a new supplier (letter transcription) is going to provide a Hl7v2 feed sending MDM^T02 messages with PDF's of letters base64 encoded in the message itself.
We are thinking of asking all our suppliers to go with MDM (or ORU) for sending documents.
I'm interested in the pros and cons of the options; and if there are options I haven't thought of.
I want to install a new FHIR server from the Management Portal using the below steps, but not able to find FHIR Configuration setting under my newly created foundation namespace.
Has anyone implemented the NHS Care Connect profile in HealthShare and if so could you share the steps you took?
I am not looking to integrate it into the SDA model, Just looking having the classes within HealthShare and then applying a DTL to convert to HL7 2.x
I was hoping i could just down load the profiles from git hub and import into Studio but it appears I need the XSD to do this, which are not available.
I reached out to Gary Monger yesterday and asked him how he configured Apache for his SMART on FHIR demo? See https://learning.intersystems.com/mod/page/view.php?id=2948. Gary's response was for me to post my question on the Developer Community forum - so that other people can benefit from the answer.
This is what I asked Gary:
I'm after turning a local Health Share instance on my laptop into a SMART on FHIR server.
Recently, I've been working on a Business Process that processes a large JSON FHIR message containing up to 50k requests in an array within the JSON.
Currently, the code imports the JSON as a dynamic object from the original message stream, obtains an iterator from it, and processes each request one at a time in a loop.
I need to add some extensions to the HS.FHIR.vSTU3,Model.Resource.Patient class and then use those extensions to convert incoming FHIR JSON to the FHIR Patient Resource and Likewise add functionality to create A FHIR Patient (target class) from my patient database into the FHIR Patient Resource Object (target class)
many months ago I found a tutorial that explained all of this but can no longer find that tutorial.
Examining FHIR profile validation with InterSystems FHIR server. FHIR profiles is a very useful feature of FHIR standard that helps an organization or solution to establish constraints to a very disperse FHIR standards that are relevant to a particular business solution. Learn more on FHIR profiles.
I created a very simple FHIR profile with the following JSON:
The InterSystems FHIR® Sandbox is a virtual testing environment that combines HealthShare technology with synthetic patient data and open source and commercial SMART on FHIR apps, to allow users to play with FHIR functionality.
We invite you to take part in the European Healthcare Hackathon 2021 which will take place on November 19-21 2021. Participation is free, the deadline for applications to the ON-LINE track is prolonged until 15 NOV.
We will have an InterSystems challenge there: "Innovate with FHIR". Prize fund in InterSystems track:
🥇1st place: 1500 EUR 🥈2nd place: 1000 EUR 🥉3rd place: 500 EUR And we prepared prizes for ALL participants of our challenge!
Read the details about our challenge under the pic :) Are you in? Let us know in the poll below!
I am new to fhir framework, I have searched articles to write graphql API using FHIR i did not get any proper tutorial for this. I need to find better tutorial or articles for this. I have written API using graphql, typescript with mongodb. Can some one tell why we need resourcetype, identifier in fhir.
Also i have tried github code based on fhir using javascript. The source code i got from "https://github.com/Asymmetrik/graphql-fhir" here i tried to save patient informations
Watch this video to get an overview of how UC Davis Health uses HealthShare and Smart on FHIR to integrate genomics results into medical records as interactive discrete result pages:

We resume our series of articles on the FHIR Adapter tool available to HealthShare HealthConnect and InterSystems IRIS users.
In the previous articles we have presented the small application on which we set up our workshop and showed the architecture deployed in our IRIS instance after installing the FHIR Adapter. In today's article we will see an example of how we can perform one of the most common CRUD (Create - Read - Update - Delete) operations, the reading operation, and we will do it by recovering a Resource.
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.
