#InterSystems IRIS for Health

Hi community!

I am excited to say that since the beginning of this year we have published many of the client SDKs for InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health and Health Connect to the corresponding external repositories (Maven, NuGet, npm and PyPI). This provides many benefits to you such as:

In today’s healthcare data landscape, FHIR has become the standard for structured clinical data exchange. However, while FHIR excels at interoperability, its JSON format makes analytics challenging—including FHIR QuestionnaireResponse.

Hola amigo! 😊 Cómo estás hoy,

I would like to share a small part of my learnings from my first ever official project: POS/EDC machine integration with our billing system. This was an exciting challenge where I got hands-on experience working with APIs and vendors.

How does a Payment Machine actually work?

It's simple, start by initiating/creating a transaction, then retrieve its payment status.

Here, initiate/create refers to POST method and Retrieve refers to GET.

Hi Community,

In the first part of this series, we examined the fundamentals of Interoperability on Python (IoP), specifically how it enables us to construct such interoperability elements as business services, processes, and operations using pure Python.

Now, we are ready to take things a step further. Real-world integration scenarios extend beyond simple message handoffs.They involve scheduled polling, custom message structures, decision logic, filtering, and configuration handling.In this article, we will delve into these more advanced IoP capabilities and demonstrate how to create and run a more complex interoperability flow using only Python.

To make it practical, we will build a comprehensive example: The Reddit Post Analyzer Production. The concept is straightforward: continuously retrieving the latest submissions from a chosen subreddit, filtering them based on popularity, adding extra tags to them, and sending them off for storage or further analysis.

The ultimate goal here is a reliable, self-running data ingestion pipeline. All major parts (the Business Service, Business Process, and Business Operation) are implemented in Python, showcasing how to use IoP as a Python-first integration methodology.

The 2025.3 release of InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS^® for Health^TM, and HealthShare^® Health Connect is now Generally Available (GA). This is a Continuous Delivery (CD) release.

Using embedded Python while building your InterSystems-based solution can add very powerful and deep capabilities to your toolbox.

I'd like to share one sample use-case I encountered - enabling a CDC (Change Data Capture) for a mongoDB Collection - capturing those changes, digesting them through an Interoperability flow, and eventually updating an EMR via a REST API.

Hey Intersystems Community!

I'm trying to get IRIS to serve static files, including security and redirect to login if no session is present.

This is the flow I am trying to accomplish:

I have a quite complex FHIR Implementation Guide (IG) which is based on several other FHIR IGs. It's likely the versions of IGs conflict with each other.

From what I understand, I would need to load in all the other FHIR IG's first?

I don't actually need FHIR profiles to be in our FHIR Repository - I'm just after terminology and the examples for our test system.

Is it possible to load a FHIR IG just as data? (I think I mean here, ignore the FHIR profiles and dependencies between them)

i am looking for a Class or Function to check if a Base64 document is valid ( will results into Full file after decoding or not ),
i was not able to find any predefined class in Objectscript ,

has anyone worked on something similar before ?
any advice will be welcomed

Introduction

When using a EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FileService business service, is there a way to tell which row number that is being read in? I want to read in a csv, but on the first record, trigger a truncate on the External SQL Table that it is being written to through JDBC.

Thanks

When I started my journey with InterSystems IRIS, especially in Interoperability, one of the initial and common questions I had was: how can I run something on an interval or schedule? In this topic, I want to share two simple classes that address this issue. I'm surprised that some similar classes are not located somewhere in EnsLib. Or maybe I didn't search well? Anyway, this topic is not meant to be complex work, just a couple of snippets for beginners.

When using standard SQL or the object layer in InterSystems IRIS, metadata consistency is usually maintained through built-in validation and type enforcement. However, legacy systems that bypass these layers—directly accessing globals—can introduce subtle and serious inconsistencies.
