#Health Connect

• Building and Managing HL7 Integrations – In Person May 13-17, 2024 9:00am-5:00pm EDT
  
  • Build, configure, and manage HL7^® V2 interfaces using InterSystems integration technologies.
  • This healthcare-focused 5-day course teaches implementation partners, integrators and analysts how to rapidly build HL7 integration solutions.
  • Students build a production that processes and routes HL7 messages.
  • Students learn how to work with the pre-built HL7 business services, business processes and business operations to receive and send HL7 messages.

I was not able to get IAM working on my Development Server because of issues with creating volumes as a Non root user, so I opted to run it within Docker on my WSL Ubuntu locally. I was able to get it running, however the Workspaces is empty, and the Dev Portal is not enabled.

At this point do I need to sign up for the free Kong Konnect? or what are the next steps?

Thanks

Can you assign the SessionId to a target field in a DTL. There is a %Ensemble("SessionId") variable that looks like it would be available to use.

With System Alerting and Monitoring (SAM) being deprecated in the near future..

• What is everyone's go-to for Monitoring IRIS? 
• What is readily available?
• What is the cost surrounding it?

Just trying to get ideas floating around of what we might need to start looking at to satisfy IT leadership.

Thanks

Hi Developers,
Let's meet in-person at our next Developer Meetup in Boston on April 24 5:30 pm!

Tech Talks:

InterSystems has encountered a defect that causes some upgrades of HealthShare® Health Connect to fail. This only affects instances that are not licensed for the use of FHIR® and that have interoperability-enabled namespaces. Under these conditions, the upgrade fails with an <HSFHIRErr> error.

This defect only impacts upgrades to version 2024.1 of HealthShare Health Connect.

The affected version, 2024.1.0.263.0, has been removed from distribution.  A new Point Release is available:

I recently had the need to monitor from HealthConnect the records present in a NoSQL database in the Cloud, more specifically Cloud Firestore, deployed in Firebase. With a quick glance I could see how easy it would be to create an ad-hoc Adapter to make the connection taking advantage of the capabilities of Embedded Python, so I got to work.

Preparing the environment

To start, we need an instance of the database on which we can perform the tests. By accessing the Firebase console, we have created a new project to which we have added the Firestore database.

I am currently adding a field to our Existing messaging from Epic, however there might be a possibility I need to back load data into the Ancillary system. While I have the previous messages that can be sent, they do not have this additional field that I am adding to the message.

I can do a lookup against Epic Clarity SQL Database; however, I don't want to throw a wrench into the workflow if the system cannot connect to the Epic Clarity SQL Database.

• What is the best solution for this?

Are you using HealthShare® Health Connect? You should know that starting with version 2024.1, a private web server (PWS) will no longer be included in installations.

It is recommended that you migrate to an external production-grade web server to ensure security. Benefits include:

• Only one web server is needed for all your instances.
• You can take charge of security by keeping your web server up to date—no need to wait for the next InterSystems release.

See how to migrate to an external web server (video series, 10m).

⏯ How to Migrate off the Private Web Server - Windows

I've been preparing to take the InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist certificate and on the page that explains the cert it lists one in-person class and one online course. I've been through the suggested online course but when I read through the practice questions there are a lot of things that aren't covered or mentioned in that course. Naturally I could go digging through the documentation but there is no specific guidance about what things to study.
I was just wondering if there is a better organized collection of study materials for cert prep.

In evaluating an IBM Support notification, InterSystems has determined a potential impact for our customers. The notification in question is:

Memory Leak in std::string for programs built with xlclang++ 16.1.0 in the presence of the 17.1.1 libc++.a

This issue affects versions 2022.x and 2023.x of

• InterSystems IRIS® data platform
• InterSystems IRIS for Health™
• HealthShare® Health Connect

It also affects other InterSystems products based on the InterSystems IRIS family of products.

I am fairly new to using Docker, and instead of trying to get IIS, a Web Gateway, and Docker desktop working within my Windows environment, I thought I would try running it in a WSL2 Ubuntu environment since this is similar to how use it on my server. I have installed Apache and the Web Gateway on my WSL2 Ubuntu.

I went through Apache Web Gateway with Docker | InterSystems Developer Community however that is already bundled and requires TLS certificate setup which I don't care about since this is running locally on my machine.

Given the number of new features in this release, InterSystems has decided to add this fifth preview as part of the 2024.1 developer preview program.  This extended developer preview release only includes InterSystems IRIS^® for Health^TM, and HealthShare^® Health Connect.

⏯ How to Migrate Your Instance to Apache - Linux Unix

I had a question about using ZSTART, ZSTOP, and ZMIRROR.

• If we use them and it is not correct, does it mess up with any of the existing functionality?
• So, if I create a ZSTART with a simple command of starting the %JDBC Server will that mess up anything existing in the Startup sequence?
• Is ZSTART, ZSTOP, and ZMIRROR just an extension of the existing functionality, or does it alter how the built in functionality runs?
• Should we tread lightly in the use of them?

Hi All! We have a new online course that those of you who do integration work / create data transformations may be interested in: Editing Data Transformations via Code. This course is meant to build familiarity with the code behind data transformations in InterSystems products, enabling you to identify their class structures, logical elements, and more. Directly editing code can provide an efficient way of updating DTLs in some scenarios, but building expertise with it is key, since you lose the guardrails that the UI provides if you go straight to code.

How do you tell the last date/time a LookupTable (LUT) was updated?

⏯ Transforming HL7 V2 Messages in Health Connect

💡 HealthShare® Health Connect is a comprehensive solution for enhanced communication and data sharing between healthcare networks. It seamlessly integrates devices, applications, and databases, empowering healthcare organizations to make informed decisions and streamline operations—improving the experience of patients, providers, and payers.

🔒 With support for industry-standard data formats like HL7® V2, HL7® FHIR®, X12, DICOM, and IHE, Health Connect ensures compatibility and interoperability across the network.

Our 3M Computer Assisted Coding system goes down on a regular basis for updates, the Applications folks like us to Disable the Business Operations when this happens and start them back up when they page the on-call person. The Business Operations have to be started in a sequence to guarantee that all the ADT being sent it processed before we start sending everything else.

Does Intersystems have a simple (albeit large) HL7 Reference Guide ?

Has anyone noticed that when IRIS is forced down that the EnsLib.JavaGateway.Services do not properly shut down and release the ports? While we can write a shell script to kill the processes at the OS level, I was wondering if anyone experienced this issue.

We are working on our Mirroring setup/failover and had the team testing forcing the Primary down to make the Backup to become the Primary Server. When this happened and we failed back, IRIS could not restart the JavaGateway.Services because the ports were still in use.

Hello,

I am trying to connect to a web socket endpoint that potentially has a number of different IP addresses for load balancing purposes. 

I have been asked whether it's possible to use a DNS name to resolve the IP address rather than statically assigning one specific IP address in the TCP Operation.

If it's not possible to resolve on a DNS name directly on the TCP operation, then I wondered whether it was possible to provide multiple IP addresses.

In the documentation, it mentions that I can provide a value like this "!192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.
