InterSystems has corrected a memory leak in applications that pass by reference to a formal parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments.

This problem exists for:

  • InterSystems IRIS Data Platform – all currently released versions
  • InterSystems IRIS for Health – all currently released versions
  • HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.0

If this defect occurs, the process partition will eventually be exhausted, resulting in a <STORE> error.

Question Jason Butterhoff · May 23, 2019

Hello,

When creating an outbound X12 file (834, 835, 837, etc), what's the easiest way to keep a segment count to use in the SE01 element?  Other mapping tools I've used either detect it's an X12 file and do this automatically, or there's an option to keep a count after each outputted segment.  The Data Transformation tool within Health Connect doesn't seem to have similar functionality, but I could just be missing something.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jason

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in application data integrity issues following an abnormal shutdown.

This problem exists for:

  • Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.2
  • HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 on Core version 2018.1.2
  • InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2019.1
  • InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.1
  • HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1

The defect breaks the journal sync guarantee that all updates in the journal buffer have been written to the journal file. The failure is silent: it does not generate an error message and there is no entry about it in any log file.

Question Soundar Aswin · Apr 9, 2019

Hi There ,

     We are trying to do a small POC trying to integrate NHS Careconnect with Ensemble/Healthconnect. Does anyone have implemented this before. It would be good that you provide some suggestions  or any sample implementation. It would be good to get suggestions any  interesting use cases 

within NHS England for the POC.

Question Darin Kurth · Feb 5, 2019

I'm looking for options to create multiple DFT HL7 messages based on data contained in a ZCO segment in a single inbound DFT message.  I have the following ZCO segment:

ZCO|CCC^Charge Code|1306794,1071301,23510,1071424|MFCD^Charge Code|14232,3542|||||

In this example, I need to create a new DFT message based on the data contained in ZCO:2.  Each code needs to be in it's own DFT message and put in FT1:7.1.  The number of codes will vary for each inbound message, but each code will need to create its own outbound message to the client.

Question Stephen De Gabrielle · Dec 27, 2018

Is there any good documentation/tutorials on creating gateways in both directions between FHIR and Hl7v2 (for Health Connect)?

the scenarios I'm most interested in

1. Client application sends a FHIR demographic query to Health Connect - and the interface has to convert this to Hl7v2 QBP^Q11 message to the PAS.

2. Health connect sends a PDF document (from a file or HL7v2 interface) to an EPR over FHIR.

Thanks

Stephen

UPDATE

We are using Health Connect  15.03 - Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2017.2.1 (Build 801U) Wed Dec 6 2017 09:07:51 EST [HealthShare Modules:Core:15.03.9901 + Linkage Engine:15.03.9901]

Question Timothy Rea · Oct 12, 2018

Hello,

I'm wondering what the path is to learning healthshare & ensemble?   I've looked on the learning page and its minimally helpful.   I've found that as a long time mumps programmer that new jobs are requiring this.  I've just been using mumps to assist with epic emr.   Everything I'm seeing is either VistA or Healthshare.  Does someone know where do I go to learn these apps?  Seems like a catch 22.  You need to know these prior to getting a job but you can't get a job where you can learn them.    Frustrating.

Question David Foard · Sep 7, 2018

Is there any out of the box capability in Ensmeble to remove an FHS segment from a batch file? We have a client that is creating a batch of HL7 messages and they insert an FHS but there is no trailing FTS.

We are hoping to avoid custom COS code to handle this scenario.

Question Gigi La Course · Jul 11, 2018

I am working in Ensemble (Health Connect) and doing an HL7 translation

I have what I hope is a simple coding question (but for the life of me, I am struggling).  I have a requirement where I need to extract the last 5 characters of a variable length string.  The return value should be those last 5 characters.  For example - String = CE325ACCT98765 where the return value of the function needs to be 98765.  I am just drawing a blank.

thank you,

Gigi

Question Paul Riker · Dec 27, 2017

We do not use the out of the box web server (57772) for HealthConnect, we run a stand alone instance of Apache with https enabled. Now when I go to Tools > Templates > Web Form Wizard,  I get an error Navigation Cancelled. I get a similar error when I try Tools > Add Ons > Add On.

Any ideas?

Question Jenna Makin · Dec 4, 2017

Hi-

I have searched through documentation, etc and see many mentions of using Ensemble / Health Connect along with the Java Gateway to interface with JMS Queues, but see no specific documentation on how to do this.

Does anyone have any information, or a concise example of using the Java Gateway to allow Ensemble / Health Connect to be able to place messages and retrieve messages from a JMS Queue?

Thanks

Question Jenna Makin · Nov 7, 2017

Hi-

Please excuse my rather limited knowledge of HL7.

In Ensemble, I have a HL7 message that contains several Z segments.  I have created a custom schema to represent the new Z segments along with the new DocType Structure and Message Structure

How does Ensemble/Health Connect know which custom schema to use?  I believe it has to be indicated in the MSH segment somewhere, but not sure where exactly that would be.   Is the version simply updated with the new schema name or is there some other field?

TIA

Ken

Question Stephen De Gabrielle · Oct 2, 2017

Hi

Reading through the installation guide I found a fairly stern warning in the robustness checklist not to use the inbuilt apache web server.

>Use a robust web server. Do not use the limited Apache server installed with
>Ensemble. It is provided as a convenience for use on development systems and
> is not a fully capable web server.

We only have a few users, the Interface team (3), an integration consultant(1) and an interface monitoring/development vendor.

Do we need a 'robust web server' for using HealthShare Health Connect Integration engine?

1. Scope and Objective:

Recently we supported a few NHS cases that required TIE (Trust Integration Engine) integration with the PKB service.   Hence this article is meant to be a 10-minute quick guide to describe a demo solution (simple configurations and end-2-end implementation steps) for Health Connect (Ensemble) Integration with PKB (Patient-Knows-Best) service.
