#HealthShare

I am writing to express my interest in the "IRIS Ensemble Integration . I have 2 years of experience as an Ensemble IRIS Developer, working with Ensemble and IRIS for integration, server management, and application development. Looking for more opportunites to work under Iris Cache Objectscript

I have recently had the intersystems healthshare software installed on the laptop - but do not have the credential to log into the management portal. Is there anyway to recover these for the users  _system or Admin or SuperUser?

Hi, Community!

Looking to modernize the way you build interoperability screens in InterSystems® products? Take a tour of some recent UI improvements.

Building Integrations: A New User Experience

Epic had changed some of their logic on their Incoming Radiology Results which now require an Ordering Provider even though it is supposed to account for it within the Epic Interface settings.

I was wondering if we are using a custom schema if there was a way to default a value into OBR:16 if it was not valued without having to modify all the DTL's for these Results.

Is there a way to set this via the schema editor or in the background so we don't have to create/update DTL's or create a custom TCP Operation Class??

I recently had to refresh my knowledge of the HealthShare EMPI module and since I've been tinkering with IRIS's vector storage and search functionalities for a while I just had to add 1 + 1.

For those of you who are not familiar with EMPI functionality here's a little introduction:

Enterprise Master Patient Index

In general, all EMPIs work in a very similar way, ingesting information, normalizing it and comparing it with the data already present in their system.

I am struggling with returning a SQL Query Result that may have multiple rows that can be searched.

 set query = "SELECT Facility FROM FROM osuwmc_EnterpriseDirDB.RelationshipMedCtrID WHERE OSUmedcenterID = ?"
 SET rset = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
 SET qStatus = rset.%Prepare(query)
 SET rset = rset.%Execute($Get(ID))
 do rset.%Display()

I need to take the values that are returned and say search them for a single value. How would I go about returning the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot into a Array or List for it to be searchable.

I have a general question about HealthShare Provider Directory using Code Tables on disk vs Cache SQL Tables. Why is Provider Directory not using the Cache SQL Tables within the IRIS platform?

Hi,

I want to ensure that the parent ruleset has an EffectiveEndDateTime when I evaluate a rule's when condition() . How would I do that please ?

Thank you.

Hi,

We're having an issue with some messages being sent to a downstream system from Healthshare.  Part of the free text in the NTE segment is displaying with special characters on the system front-end but is not present in the HL7 message that we send to them.  We are guessing that this is a result of some of the text being copied and pasted from something like MS Word. The '?' on their system is just representing an invalid character. 

Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this occurring? We are sending the messages using the 'cp1252' encoding.

Prefer not to read? Check out the demo video I created:

I need a DTL to handle this.

Any ideas appreciated.

For all Prosthetics orders:
when ORC-1(Order Control) is "NW" (New Order), need to update OBR-18(Placer Field 1) based on PV1-2 (Patient Class) value.
assumption is that the selection logic is that all prosthetics orders with OBR-18 field is always blank.
Description :
If PV1-2 is I, insert I in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is O, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is E, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is P, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is R, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is B, insert O in OBR-18

I was wondering if someone could help me. In the past I have been able to call external Stored Procedures through a SQL Outbound Connection and have them return me the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot to use within a BPL to extract data.

But this time instead of using a SQL Outbound BO to make the Stored Procedure call, I decided to create a Linked Stored Procedure through the %JDBC_Server to point to the Stored Procedure out on MS SQL.

However, I am struggling to get the code just right to return the Column value from the Linked Stored Procedure.

 set result = ##class(EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot).

Hi all,

I noticed today that when adding a namespace (localhost) to the Workplace in VS Code, it is being created as read-only.

I haven’t encountered this issue before - previously, I was able to add the namespace with full access and could edit files without any problems. The settings appear to be the same as before.

I need to remove multiple languages from the language selection drop down which appears at top of Navigation app top bar. I need to keep only English.

Is there any way I can do that?

Or I can completly remove the language option?

I have a segment within a Group (grp) that needs to be validated that it is populated within the message. 

When you use a Foreach within a Business Rule how should you account for the counter in the group?

For example, Epic sends their MFN message in the following format.

MSH~MFI~[~{~MFE~STF~PRA~[~ZPR~]~[~ZLK~]~[~CER~]~[~ZMG~]~[~ZTF~]~[~ZGP~]~[~ZDD~]~}~]

so, the ZLK segment might not exist until the last MFEgrp that is in the message. I need to verify if there is an Employee ID associated with the Provider in the HL7 message before I run it through the translation.

Trying to start investigating an error we are seeing with multiple of the same messages getting sent to the same vendor. We receive an HL7 message with an RTF embedded from our EMR, send it through a DTL to just update the Patient Class, and then send it onto the Operation which is TCP.

We are starting to see this error message...

ERROR <Ens>ErrBPTerminated: Terminating BP DocOutRptRouting3M360 # due to error: ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <INVALID OREF>zOutputToIOStream+6^EnsLib.HL7.Message.1 -- logged as '-' number - @''
> ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <INVALID OREF>zOutputToIOStream+6^EnsLib.

Background:

This guideline provides an overview of how to design and implement a REST API interface for querying patient demographic data from an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system using HealthConnect. The process involves sending a query request with the patient's identification number, retrieving the response from the EPR system, extracting the required patient demographic data from the HL7 message, and sending it as a JSON response to the supplier. The high-level process diagram is shown below (Screenshot 1).

 JSON Web Token (JWT) Authentication

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share the code and step-by-step instructions/or guideline for generating a JWT (JSON Web Token) signature, as well as how to test it using Postman / HealthConnect.

JWT is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact, URL-safe method for securely transmitting information between parties in the form of a JSON object.

Structure of a JWT:

A JWT consists of three parts, separated by dots (.):

Has anyone tried using Server-Sent Events with Caché/HealthShare/Ensemble and angularjs?

Hi Team,

I’m looking for an API or command to determine if the supported CPU version exists on a Windows system.

Before installing IRIS, I would like to confirm whether the system/server has the supported CPU version. Do we have any API or command to check the details before starting the installation of IRIS 2024.1?

Hello interface engineers and app developers,     

Did you know that you can use Python in productions or integrations?

The production configuration user interface is low-code, but in many projects, you may reach a point where you need to write some code. As discussed in the Integration Architecture course, business processes are full of places for inserting code, specifically the BPL editor (for BPL business processes) and the DTL editor (for data transformations).

😯 As of InterSystems IRIS 2025.1, both Python and InterSystems ObjectScript are supported in the BPL and DTL editors.

Are you a developer, data engineer, integration engineer, or data scientist who works hands-on with InterSystems products?

I was using VSCode to edit a DTL because it seemed easier to copy/paste code from parts of the DTL I was editing. I tried to add <sql> tag and code to call a SELECT statement, but when I compiled I got the following error...

ERROR <Ens>ErrInvalidDTL: Invalid DTL

  > ERROR #5490: Error running generator for method 'GetSourceDocType:osuwmc.Epic.MFN.DTL.EpicMFN949002Normalization'

ERROR: Ens.DataTransformDTL.cls(GetSourceDocType) of generated code compiling subclass 'osuwmc.Epic.MFN.DTL.EpicMFN949002Normalization'

    > ERROR #5030: An error occurred while compiling class 'osuwmc.Epic.MFN.

Once upon a time in Ensemble Management Portal the pool size of each component (Business Host) within the production was displayed in the Production Configuration page.

This information was very useful, especially when a production have tens or hundreds of components.

Now days the pool size is no longer displayed in the Production Configuration page and to get the pool size you need to click in each and every host in your production.
What if you have hundreds of business hosts and you need to check the pool size of each? It's a nightmare!

I have the need to query an external database and write the result set/snapshot to an internal %Persistent [ DdlAllowed ] table that I built. I have built inbound SQL Services before and write them externally to replace SSIS jobs, but how would querying a database via a Service and writing the data to an internal table work?

Can I just take the inbound query structure and write it to the class file of the internal table in a DTL? If so, what would be the Target? Or does this need to be done within a BPL as a Code block?
