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.
The recent addition of FIFO groups allows First-In, First-Out (FIFO) message processing to be maintained in an interoperability production even when a Pool Size is greater than 1, enabling higher performance without sacrificing correctness. This feature first appears in InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS® for Health, and InterSystems Health Connect™ in version 2025.3.
First-In, First-Out message processing is critical in many integration scenarios, especially in healthcare. Traditionally, FIFO ordering is enforced by configuring each business host to process only one message at a time (Pool Size = 1). While effective, this approach can limit throughput and underutilize system resources. FIFO groups preserve FIFO ordering where needed without requiring a Pool Size of 1.
