In healthcare,interoperability is the ability of different information technology systems and software applications to communicate, exchange data, and use the information that has been exchanged.
FHIR repositories, applications and servers typically serve clinical data in small quantities, whether to return data about a patient, their medications, vaccines, allergies, among other information. However, it is common for a large amount of data in FHIR/JSON format to be requested to be used to load into Data Lakes, identifying study cohorts, population health, or transferring data from one EHR to another. To meet these business scenarios that require large extractions and loads of data, it is recommended to use the FHIR Bulk Data Access feature provided by HL7 institution.
Dear community, we are building up a digital backbone for our 17 hospitals and looking for reinforcement within the team. Maybe this is something for you or someone you know?
The world of Generative AI has been pretty inescapable for a while, commercial models running on paid Cloud instances are everywhere. With your data stored securely on-prem in IRIS, it might seem daunting to start getting the benefit of experimentation with Large Language Models without having to navigate a minefield of Governance and rapidly evolving API documentation. If only there was a way to bring an LLM to IRIS, preferably in a very small code footprint....
Interoperability of systems ensures smooth workflow and management of data in today's connected digital world. InterSystems IRIS extends interoperability a notch higher with its Embedded Python feature, which lets developers seamlessly integrate Python scripts into the IRIS components, like services, operations, and custom functions.
Very much keen if we could gather the per namespace and business component utilization of InterSystems cache server.
For e. I have a PRD server where its CPU utilization is at max all the time and I want to know which namespace and its business process (service/Operation/Process) is utilizing what number of CPU and memory.
** I can get the CPU and Memory utilization per Cache.exe and PID, but not able to get the Namespace and ConfiguratioName to which that particular PID belongs.
It's been a while since I've posted about Embedded Git on the Developer Community, and I'd like to provide an update on the massive amount of work we've done this year and where we're going next.
Context
If you're building solutions on IRIS and want to use Git, that's great! Just use VSCode with a local git repo and push your changes out to the server - it's that easy.
In your Interoperability Production you could always have a Business Operation that is an HTTP client, that uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, but you had to customize the Operation for this authentication methodology. Since v2024.3, which was lately released, there is a new capability, providing new settings, to handle this more easily.
Imagine the scene. You are working happily at Widgets Direct, the internet's premier retailer of Widgets and Widget Accessories. Your boss has some devastating news, some customers might not be fully happy with their widgets, and we need a helpdesk application to track these complaints. To makes things interesting, he wants this with a very small code footprint and challenges you to deliver an application in less than 150 lines of code using InterSystems IRIS. Is this even possible?
When developing a new Interoperability Production, it is quite natural that settings are initially added in the Production.
However, as soon as you want to move the Production from development to a test or staging environment, it becomes clear that some settings like HTTP Servers, IP addresses and/or ports need to be changed. In order to avoid these settings being overwritten during a redeployment later on, it is essential that you move these settings from the Production to the System Default settings.
Let's pretend for a moment that you're an international action spy who's dedicated your life to keeping the people of the world safe from danger. You recieve the following mission:
Good day, Agent IRIS,
We're sorry for interrupting your vacation in the Bahamas, but we just received word from our London agent that a "time bomb" is set to detonate in a highly populated area in Los Angeles. Our sources say that the "time bomb" is set to trigger at 3:14 PM this afternoon.
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-HL7v2Gen .
IRIS-HL7v2Gen is a CSP application that facilitates the dynamic generation of HL7 test messages. This process is essential for testing, debugging, and integrating healthcare data systems. The application allows users to generate a wide variety of HL7 message types, validate their structure against HL7 specifications, explore the message hierarchy, and transmit messages over TCP/IP to production systems. These features are particularly useful in settings where compliance with HL7 standards is mandatory for interoperability between different healthcare organizations or systems.
Application Features
Dynamic HL7 Message Generation: Instantly create HL7 messages for a range of message types, facilitating comprehensive testing.
Message Structure Exploration: Visualize the structure of generated messages based on HL7 specifications.
Value Set Visualization View predefined sets of allowable coded values for specific fields.
Message Validation: Validate messages against HL7 standards to ensure compliance.
TCP/IP Communication: Easily transmit messages to production using TCP/IP settings.
Broad Message Type Support: Supports 184 different HL7 message types, ensuring versatility for various healthcare integration needs.
ClassMethod: Generate a Test Message by Invoking a Class Method
Version Support: Currently Supports HL7 Version 2.5
When building a bundle from legacy data, I (and others) wanted to be able to control whether or not the resources were generated with a FHIR Request Method of PUT instead of the hard coded POST. I have extended the two classes responsible for transforming SDA to FHIR in an Interoperability Production to accomodate a setting that lets the user control the Request Method.
Is there a way to create and establish DICOM Association with Extended Negotiation?
I have implemented DICOM Query/Retrieve C-FIND, using EnsLib.DICOM.Operation.TCP and EnsLib.DICOM.Process base classes. My application, acting as an SCU, needs to query by Study Date-Time (combined date-time matching) range with timezone query adjustment. For this, I need to use Extended Negotiation.
In a development environment, we have added quite a few presentation contexts to the DICOM configurations (the associations). We would need to find a way to export them from this environment to make it easier for us to import them in PRO (and avoid doing it by hand one by one).
OpenAPI-Client Gen has just released, this is an application to create an IRIS Interoperability Production client from Swagger 2.0 specification.
Instead of the existing tool ^%REST that creates a server-side REST application, OpenAPI-Client Gen creates a complete REST Interoperability Production client template.
I have been walking through this with a few team members and as such I thought there might be others out there who could use it, especially if you work with HL7 & Ensemble/HealthConnect/HealthShare and never venture out past the Interoperability section.
I was working on a DTL but kept getting ERROR #5002... MAXSTRING errors. The problem was that most of the DTL GUI action steps only support the string data type when working with the segments. A %String has a limit of 3,641,144 characters and my OBX5.1 was 5,242,952 characters long as the example provided. Of course PACS admin stated ultra high quality up to and including 4K resolution files were needed, so we could not get the vendor to compress or reformat these files to compressed jpg or something similar.
In the past, I've created custom SQL operations, but now I had something trivial to do, so I decided to take EnsLib.SQL.Operation.GenericOperation out for a spin. There's no example in the docs, so it was a little tricky. Here's what I ended up doing:
In my external database, I have 'mytable' with two fields 'id1' and 'id2'. Here are the pertinent Business Operation settings:
