Overview

We often run into connectivity problems with HealthShare (HS) deployments in Microsoft Azure that have multiple HealthShare components (instances or namespaces) installed on the same VM, especially when needing to communicate to other HS components while using the Azure Load Balancer (ILB) to provide mirror VIP functionality.  Details on how and why a load balancer is used with database mirroring can be found this community article.

As per Azure Load Balancer documentation, https://docs.microsoft.

I noticed that the XCPD processor has a setting for PDQ minimum threshold and maximum record count returned, but PDQ does not have these settings. Can anyone explain why? They are essentially the same service.

I'm trying to track down documentation on how HealthShare + HSPI prioritizes patient demographics that are returned in various scenarios. I've done some experimenting but was looking for some confirmation.

1. HSPI  - It's my understanding that trusted tiers and aging factors only impact the HSPI management UI experience. That they are not incorporated into patient search response. Can someone confirm this?

2. Patient Search Response (Clinical Viewer, PDQ, XCPD, FHIR) - Only Registry demographics are used. Nothing from HSPI or Patient SDA.

Hi Community

I am using a standard DTL for Allergy Intolerance but it shows codes for Category and Severity Columns on cliinical viewer.

I have copied the standard DTL to my custom folder and I want to modify it to show descriptions for these two columns but I don't know how to do it.

Please see the below DTLs for Category and severity and advise how I can change them to get descriptions.

Category DTL section

<if condition='source.category&apos;=""'>
<true>
<if condition='source.category.Count()>0'>
<true>
<assign value='##class(HS.FHIR.DTL.Util.Lookup).

Hi Community

I want a FHIR resource example that will populate allergies as displayed below, I am currently focussing on only allergies and not alerts.

When creating custom Business Hosts, it's often necessary to add properties to the class for additional settings that will be used in the initialization or operation of the host. The property name itself isn't always very descriptive, so it's an advantage to have a custom caption display with the field.

In Caché, it was fairly straightforward:

TEST> Set ^CacheMsg("EnsColumns","en-us","<property name>") = "<caption>"

But It involves a bit more effort in IRIS ...

In IRIS, the caption names of business host and production properties are stored in

Hello again everyone.

In our previous article we saw how to configure our EMPI to receive FHIR messages. To do this we installed the FHIR Adapter that InterSystems made available to us that configured a REST endpoint to which we could send our FHIR message. We would then get the message and transform it to a %String that we would send via TCP to the output of our EMPI configured in our HSPIDATA namespace.

Alright, it's time to see how we retrieve the message, transform it back to a %DynamicObject and parse it to the class used by the EMPI to store the information.

The extended maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and HealthShare Health Connect 2023.1.1 are now available. This release provides bug fixes for the previous 2023.1.0 releases.

You can find the detailed change lists / upgrade checklists on these pages:

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

How to get the software

The software is available as both classic installation packages and container images.  For the complete list of available installers and container images, please refer to the Supported Platforms webpage.

We return to the attack with our EMPI!

In previous articles we have seen how to configure and customize our EMPI, we have seen how we can include new patients in our system through HL7 messaging, but of course, not everything is HL7 v.2 in this life! How could we configure our EMPI instance to work with FHIR messaging?

What is FHR?

Hi Community,

Please give me an example on how to configure email alerting based on the rules and send out emails accrordingly.

As a message comes into the business service component I want to check specific fields and if a field for example active = true i want to send it to a different email and if active = false I want to send it to a different email as well.

Guide me on how to accomplish this requirement and let me know if InterSystems uses a default SMTP server or I must have that server in place.

Regards

Hi All,

See code below. We don't want to %FromJSON interpret the data. 

We're creating a method to convert json to csv but we don't want to convert/interpret any of the data

The write in the code snipped below will give 220 as weight instead of 220.00.

Does anyone now a way/method to don't interpret the data without put "" on the values?

Class Tmp.test
{

ClassMethod help()
{
		set src = "{""name"" : ""greg"", ""weight"" : 220.00 }"
     	set obj = ##class(%DynamicAbstractObject).%FromJSON(src)
     	write obj.name,!
     	write obj.weight,!
     	return $$$OK
}

}

Hi Community,

I would like to know how I can query a list of patients that were revoked on HealthShare for the month of April and May.

Messages are sent using FHIR and a revoke is handled with active:false as seen below. A non-revocation will have active: true on the patient resource.

I wanted to check SQL tables but I am not sure which one to check if so. Please advise on how to go about getting this report.

Regards,

A set of 14 interactive practice questions are now available for the InterSystems HL7® Interface Specialist Certification exam. These questions have all been developed by our subject matter experts. Feedback for these questions include documentation resources and online learning content.

If you're interested in taking our InterSystems HL7® Interface Specialist exam, we highly recommend these questions.

I have a pResponse output in my onrequest method, in here I build an ACK and set the pResponse variable to it,  and return a status object afterwards.

The pResponse doesn't show up in the trace or message viewer, yet if I move the interface to another more established namespace it works fine, what settings or config could be preventing the ACKS going back?

what happened is, I selected a user to investigate their entries. I didn't enter a start date.

After hitting search, the query timed out, (or i cancelled it, I don't recall).

Now, when I go to that page, the browser processes and nothing is displayed.

I cleared my browser's cache, and I still get a blank page.

I'm running on Win10.

I use Chrome as my default browser. The problem also happens in Fire Fox.

i can log in as a different user and the page displays as expected.

How can I correct this situation?

Thanks!

Course: Managing InterSystems Servers

When: July 10-14, 2023 9am to 5pm US Eastern Time (ET)

Where: In-person only at InterSystems Headquarters in Cambridge, MA.

One of the most common needs of our clients is the creation of REST services that allow access to the information present in IRIS / HealthConnect. The advantage of these REST services is that it allows the development of custom user interfaces with the most current technologies taking advantage of the reliability and performance of IRIS in the back-end.

In today's article we are going to create a web service step by step that will allow us to both store data in our database and later consult them.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that causes increased process memory usage.

Specifically, the increased consumption of local process partition memory occurs when executing $Order,  $Query, or Merge on local variables.  While this will have no detrimental impact for most running environments, environments that support a large number of processes or closely limit Maximum Per-Process Memory could be impacted.  Some processes may experience <STORE> errors.

The defect exists in 2023.1.0.229.0 but it is reposted as 2023.1.0.235.

Good morning,

I was wondering:

Given the following scenario where we have a string where each two items are being splitted by "|" as follows: "squadName|initialLetter"

"Alfa|A|Bravo|B|Charlie|C|Delta|D|Echo|E|Foxtrot|F|Golf|G|Hotel|H|India|I|Juliett|J|Kilo|K|Lima|L|Mike|M|November|N|Oscar|O|Papa|P|Quebec|Q|Romeo|R|Sierra|S|Tango|T|Uniform|U|Victor|V|Whiskey|W|X-ray|X|Yankee|Y|Zulu|Z"

And we would need to generate a String structure like:
 

[
    {
        "number": "number 1",
        "squad": "Alfa",
        "answer": [
            {
                "initialLetter": "A"
            }

As we said yesterday. our EMPI can receive data from multiple sources, REST, HL7 messaging, etc. But it is possible that the standard fields are not enough and we want to expand the patient information to help discriminate and uniquely identify them. How could we customize patient data? Modifying the standard classes to our liking? NOOOOO!

Hello Community,

The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is excited to announce the release of our new InterSystems HL7® Interface Specialist exam. This is an updated and rebranded version of our previous HL7 exam, formerly know as HealthShare Health Connect HL7® Interface Specialist. It is now available for purchase and scheduling in InterSystems exam catalog. Potential candidates can review the exam topics and the practice questions to help orient them to exam question approaches and content. Candidates who successfully pass the exam will receive a digital certification badge that can be shared on social media accounts like LinkedIn.  

Please let your clients and others on your ISC team know that currently there are spots available for the following June courses which currently have a low registration:

• Developing with InterSystems Objects and SQL – IN PERSON June 26-30, 2023
  • Clients may take advantage of a 33% discount off the price of virtual courses.
  • In person courses provide a more personalized educational experience.

• HealthShare Unified Care Record Fundamentals – VIRTUAL  June 26-30, 2023
  • Please review the important prerequisite requirements for this class prior to registering.

You may have already heard that, starting with IRIS and HealthShare HealthConnect 2023.2 versions, the internal Apache Server will be removed from the default installation, so it will be necessary to have an external application server such as Apache Server or NGINX.

In this article I am going to proceed to install a HealthShare HealthConnect 2023.1 so that it works with a pre-installed Apache Server. For this I will use a virtual machine on which I have installed an Ubuntu 22.04.
