⏯️ HL7 Validation Error Profiler: Rapid Insights into Batch HL7 Data Quality Issues

This demo highlights how HL7 validation logs can be transformed into scalable, actionable data quality insights using a lightweight application built on top of Health Connect.

• Batch ingestion and parsing of HL7 validation error logs into structured data
• Aggregation of errors by segment, field, and type to reveal systemic issues
• Interactive dashboard (Streamlit) for filtering, exploration, and root cause analysis
• Rapid identification of top error patterns across entire data feeds
• Natural language chatbot for intent-driven data investigation and querying
• PDF report generation for sharing clear, evidence-based feedback during data source onboarding 

Special thanks to @Henry Wojnicki for his contributions to designing and refining the application workflow.

Summary

Issue

• Deployments do not serve FHIR Server, bulk FHIR, FHIR SQL, or associated security user interfaces when using a non-default path prefix. For example, when using logical path configurations with Windows IIS, Apache, or other web servers.

This past weekend we ran into something odd. When we failed over our mirror from 2022.1.3 to 2025.1.3 the one of the Business Rules that was on what became the Primary (2025.1.3), had a rule within it that was removed back in January. When the Failover occurred, we had to scramble to backup, disable, and remove the Rule that shouldn't have been there. 

Both the Data and Code live within the same IRIS.dat that is the main MIRROR database for that Namespace. 

If this happened to one Class file, could it happen to others we do not know about?

We are working on Disk Consolidation and looking at Class/Globals that are rather large and not being cleaned up by the nightly Purge process. We have implemented DeleteHelper - A Class to Help with Deleting Referenced Persistent Classes | IDC on any Custom Data Classes, and Business Processes (BPL).

We have a bunch of Data Classes, BPL's, and Operations that connect to external MS SQL Server using JDBC to query or write data to using Stored Procedures and Queries. All that Query external tables are using EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot, and this is being written to ^Ens.AppData which is not cleaned up.

Summary

Issue

An issue has been identified in the HL7-to-SDA3 transformation logic that can cause an infinite loop when processing certain medication-related HL7 messages.

Our Pharmacy team would like us to convert...

¼ test character and ½ test character and ¾ test character and

to more like 

1/4 test character and 1/2 test character and 3/4 test character and

Is this possible?

v2026.1 was just released as GA, and one of the features I'm looking forward to using is the DTL Explainer feature.

This allows you to take a Data Transformation, and with a click of a button get a human-readable description of the transformation (which you can also use as the basis for the DTL Description).

For complex DTLs, especially ones you didn't write yourself, or you did but a long time ago, this will allow you to get a clear quick understanding of what it's doing.

The 2023.1.7 maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS^® data platform,InterSystems IRIS^® for Health^TM, and HealthShare^® Health Connect are now Generally Available (GA). 

Please share your feedback through the Ideas Portal using the category Post-Release Feedback so we can build a better product together.

Early Access Programs (EAPs)

There are many EAPs available now. Check out this page and register to those you are interested.

The 2026.1 release of InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS^® for Health^TM, and HealthShare^® Health Connect is now Generally Available (GA). This is an Extended Maintenance (EM) release.

The Interoperability user interface project has continued from 2025.1 and has incorporated many of the items that you – our customers and partners – have suggested and observed.  We are continuing to invest in feedback and updating this important user experience.  In the latest release, 2026.1 for IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect and Health Connect Cloud, the BPL Editor and Message Viewer/Visual Trace applications are now available for opt-in!
NOTE:

• Existing users can switch between the modernized and standard experiences.

As you all probably know, Health Connect / IRIS for Health natively supports DICOM messaging, and many of you will have used it daily. Well, I recently discovered a rather insidious little issue that our beloved @Alberto Fuentes gave me the solution.

We (I) will call this phenomenon the Creosote effect (those of you who know Monty Python will understand the reference, for the rest you can see the sketch here )

Mr.

Hello Community!

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Hebrew:

👉Getting Started with OAuth 2.0 on InterSystems👈

📅 Date & time: March 25th, 3:00 PM IDT

While reviewing our Orphan messages, we noticed that there are some Orphans that look like they are the start of an HL7 message.

MSH|^~\&

Since this does not link to any Message Header, and most of the information in EnsLib_HL7.Message is NULL, is there a way to track down what Object maybe creating these so we can nip it in the bud.

Only way that I know of is to go through each of our Schema's and make both the MSH and Encoding Characters optional.

Issue

In the versions specified above, an instance may fail to start or may hang during operation if the database cache is greater than or equal to 2,097,152 MB (2 TB).

I have an issue and can't seem to find the problem.

Issue

 In some namespaces i get a 403 Page not Found error for healthconnect/csp/healthshare/[NAMESPACE]/%25ZEN.Dialog.namespaceSelect.cls ; healthconnect/csp/healthshare/[NAMESPACE]/%25ZEN.Dialog.finderDialog.zen  && healthconnect/csp/healthshare/[NAMESPACE]/_CSP.UI.Portal.About.zen

Iris setup

It is currently configured in a mirror group and on the other mirror-member i don't encounter the issue. (I have checked if it was because of the member-type Primary and Backup). 

The user that I am using has the %All role.

As part of the new Interoperability UI wave (see what was new in 2025.1, and 2025.3 by @Aya Heshmat), v2026.1 which is available already as a Developer Preview, and this could be a reason for you to give it a ride - will be shipping the new UI for the Message viewing and searching, including Visual Trace (and other UI goodies).
