Question Andrew Aiston · Mar 18, 2022

I'm trying to create a general business rule, not an HL7 message router. (This is because i want to return values from the rules and message routing rules don't appear to be able to return values.) But, I want the business rules to be able to look at HL7 messages; I've copied a simple when condition from an HL7 message router but the error log throws up <PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST> ...... *HL7

Hello Everyone,


The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services has updated exam objectives for our HL7 Interface Specialist certification exam and we need input from our implementation community.  

How do I provide my input? We will present you with a list of job tasks, and you will rate them on their importance and other factors.  

How much effort is involved? It takes about 30-45 minutes to fill out the survey. You can be anonymous or identify yourself and ask us to get back to you.

Good Afternoon My InterSystems IRIS Peers,

I have the following issue that I need help with, I tried all possibilities that I know of, therefore I am reaching out to the community for some insight.

I have a SFTP service that pulling 2.5.1 DFT HL7 messages from our SFTP file server. The issue is that IRIS is transforming patients names and addresses that contain special chars UTF-8 to ANSI.

Examples:

è = è
é = é
í = í-  .......etc

I would like to know if there is a possibility to transform the RAW HL7 before IRIS do its magic or within IRIS.

Hi 

I am currently working with a "Stem Cell" supplier who do not have any/much Interface capability to push "Bone Marrow" harvest information. But willing to develop an HL7 feed/ WSDL capability.

It will be ideal, if I can get this via HL7 as much as possible and wondering if anyone has used HL7 to transmit bone marrow CD34, CD3 makers, product location and Harvest information? if so can you please advise which HL7 messages are ideal and some sample messages if possible please?

How about

Question Stephen De Gabrielle · May 11, 2018

Hi, 

We have a system that gives an AE 'Error' response for warnings, that we want to transform to AA codes when returning the Application ACK.

MSH|^~\&|iCS|EHT|EPRO|R1K|20180511113136||ACK^A02|fbwZaoKW/USAdFI3IGLU|P|2.3|||AL|NE|
MSA|AE|fbwZaoKW/USAdFI3IGLU||||0^Nothing To Update^^W
ERR|||0^Nothing To Update|W|

Fortunately they include a warning code in MSA:6.4 and ERR:4

Does HealthShare have inbuilt functionality to transform Application ACK's, or do we need to build a custom BPL or class to handle this?

Kind regards, 

Stephen

Question Marcus West · Feb 3, 2022

I'm required to do a transformation around patient physical addresses.  If (for whatever reason) a patient has multiple addresses, I want to move the home address to the first iteration of PID:11 and remove all other iterations.  I've accomplished the first bit using DTL, but for patients who have multiple addresses they are left with empty trailing iterations.  Here is an example I mocked up:

How can I remove those trailing iterations?

This is part of the DTL I've written to do my transformation:

Question John Nurmi · Sep 23, 2020

I need some help with unescaping a value in TXA 2 of an MDM message that I am writing to a variable, to be used in a filename for a PF. Would I use the method Unescape(pData) if so how can I use it in a transform to set the variable? The reason I need to do this is I need to use the name as file name when writing the PDF to a directory. The escape characters and invalid for file names .

DTL Transformations and GetValueAt/SetValueAt calls on HL7 messages will truncate any fields longer than 32K.  To avoid this, the methods GetFieldStreamRaw and StoreFieldStreamRaw must be used when dealing with fields that might be larger than 32K.  OBX:5 is a frequent example.  These methods have some subtleties and must be used carefully.

This can't be done by simply dragging from left to right in a DTL.  It must be done with a code action.  Also, the StoreFieldStreamRaw call must be the last edit made to the segment because the segment becomes immutable after that.

Question Scott Roth · May 20, 2021

We are seeing ERROR #5002: Cache error: <MAXSTRING>zSaveData+14 ^EnsLib.HL7.Segment.1 come up on a Routing rule when we are trying to Encoded PDF's through a DTL. In the DTL we are copying source to target. Is there a limitation on trying to copy source to target? 

At the bottom of the DTL you are see that we commented out converting the Encoded PDF to a Stream, is it recommended that we always use %Stream anytime we are dealing with PDF's?

Thanks

Question Ben Webb · Oct 28, 2021

Hi all, 
Just wondering if there's a quick way to get the DocType, without knowing it in advance, from a message body by building a string from the VersionID, MessageType, and TriggerEvent fields? (Similar to how it might be done dynamically in Rhapsody)
Can this then be used to set the DocType for a source message?
If this is not the best practice what is a suitable alternative approach?
Thanks for your help,
Ben

Question Patty Aguirre-Romero · Oct 18, 2021

I need to remove content below, from PID-3/HL7 message, in IRIS. However, I need to keep the content in PID-3.1. For example, I’d need to keep only, “5050532”. Can this be done in Data Transformations? If yes, how?
Thank you!

I have written below method inbound adapter myAdapter Extends Ens.InboundAdapter [ ProcedureBlock ] returns -400

If i have written in any otherExtends %Persistent  cls , always returning -30 which means Table not found

ClassMethod FetchMsgCount() As %Integer
{
    set msgCount=-1
&sql(SELECT count(ID) INTO :msgCount FROM Ens.MessageHeader)
If SQLCODE=0 Quit msgCount
Quit SQLCODE

Could you please some one tell me where should write this class method? What I am doing wrong?

Question Julian Matthews · Sep 17, 2021

Hey everyone.

I was curious if anyone had any success/tips with regards to using a global or a system parameter/property to control the behavior of a transform or process/operation.

Is there a parameter I can currently reference from the system that can be used for an if/else, or am I best off creating a simple Global and setting it according to the environment I am in?

I have attached a document that describes the product I have developed called NiPaRobotica Pharmacy. This is an interface I developed that accepts Pharmacy Dispense Requests and converts the line items on the order into dispense dialogues which it sends to pharmacy robots. I deployed the interface into 3 Hospital pharmacies two of which had 6 robots that were arranged in such a way that the dispense chutes channelled medications to desks by the pharmacists sitting in windows serving 1200 patients a day. The robots cut the average waiting time from 2 hours down to one hour. I then deployed the
