#Health Connect

1. Purpose

This is a 10-minute simple step-by-step guide on how to quickly set up various flavors of HealthShare docker containers from scratch on a Win10 laptop. 

For example, we can build a couple of  HealthShare "global edition vs UK Edition" demos as shown below.  

There are a couple of frequently asked questions from HealthShare colleagues and partners:

• "I am no Docker guy, but is there a quick way to build various flavors of HealthShare containers simply for demo/PoC/dev/training or troubleshooting purpose?

Preview kits are now published via the WRC's preview download site for:

• InterSystems IRIS 2019.1.1
• InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.1.1
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.1

The build number for these releases is 2019.1.1.608.0.

This is a maintenance release and includes changes in a number of areas, as described in the online documentation here.

It also includes three new features, described in the online documentation here:

• Support for the InterSystems API Manager,
• In-place conversion from Caché and Ensemble to InterSystems IRIS
• X12 element validation.

Currently we are using Health Share 2015.2.2, and looking to upgrade to the latest version in the next month.

From what I understand we have to upgrade to 2017 or 2018 prior to going to 2019.1 since 2019.1 is on the IRIS platform.

In trying to outline my steps in the upgrade process I came up with a question.

• Can a Full System Backup from 2015.2.2 be restored into 2019.1?
• Do I have to restore the 2015.2.2 back up into 2017 or 2018, then do the 2019.1 conversion?

Has anyone had experience with this? or should I open a ticket with WRC?

I am trying to work through our upgrading steps from 2015.2.2 to Health Connect 2019.1. Is there a place online I can access previous versions of Health Connect documentation? I am specifically looking for Health Connect 2018.1.2 documentation so I can understand the upgrade process on AIX.

Thanks

Hello All.

In need of some help.

We are currently migrating Interfaces from JCAPS to HealthConnect 19.1 and have done a lot of work on our Dev server.  I am looking to copy/export this work over to the Test server and have managed to export the production and Rules, HL7 custom Schemas etc.  The only thing left now are the Data Transformations but so far I can only find ways of copying the transformations over individually.  Is there some way to copy all of the transformations we have produced in our namespace to another server in one go?  

Thanks

This is embarrassing. I should know how to do this but I have forgotten.

I know the slowness of the 'Source' and 'Target' parameters in Message message viewer being slow to load is caused by the Bitmap indices of Ens.MessageHeader.

I know I need to run the 'bitmap index clean up' routine for Ens.MessageHeader to fixed the issue.

 What I forget is how to do this?

Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

Kind regards,

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.

Hi, 

Is there any facility in Health Connect to notify us before a SSL/TLS security certificate expires?

I'd be interested in how other teams handle this as we are using TLS/SSL a lot more to integrate with external services. 

Kind regards, 

Stephen
 

I'm a beginner with Health connect.  Trying to create a bi-directional interface.  is there a specific class I should use on the business  operations/services? 

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.

I'm looking to see there is a way to create a holding queue in Ensemble.  I have a ORM message that is coming into the  Engine.   I want to convert that message into a ADT^A04.  Then send the ADT first and the Original ORM message behind it.  How can I hold the Original ORM before I send the ADT message before it?

I use rest service on Health Connect and will has utilized HL7 FHIR for get information of external database. But i don't find exemplo in oficial documentation.
Someone to utilize the HL7 FHIR for info request in to external database?

Hi Everyone!

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.

The 2019.1 version of HealthShare Health Connect is now Generally Available!

Kits and container images are available via the WRC download site 

The build number for these releases is 2019.1.0.510.0.18883

Health Connect 2019.1 includes many new features and capabilities, most notably:

• FHIR STU3 Support
• Java Business Hosts
• Managed File Transfer (MFT)
• Containerized and cloud deployment
• New interoperability capabilities that speed configuration and troubleshooting of productions

These are detailed in the documentation and release notes for Health Connect

Upgrades - Health Connect 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.
 

The preview release of InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1 is now available!

Kits and container images are available via WRC's preview download site.

InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect version 2019.

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.

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.

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.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the availability of HealthShare Health Connect v15.032 on 2017.2.2

The platforms for this maintenance release are the same as for HealthShare Health Connect v15.03 on 2017.2.1.

• Full details can be found in this supported platforms document.

This release is based on core technology version 2017.2.2.865.0.18321 with the following HealthShare module:

• Core: 15.032.9685

The version number of the HealthShare Health Connect kits for this release is 2017.2.2HS.9685.0

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

Effective immediately InterSystems will no longer support Health Connect on Solaris. Previously released products starting with 2017.1 will also no longer offer this combination. This is in line with InterSystems HealthShare, which is not available on this platform.

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?

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

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
