We are excited to announce a new part of InterSystems documentation that makes it easier to upgrade InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS® for Health™, or HealthShare® Health Connect. The Upgrade Impact Checklist at https://docs.intersystems.com/upgrade shows you all the things you need to consider – and only the things you need to consider – in an upgrade between any two versions.

Hey Community,

Watch this video to get an introduction to the components of an HL7 V2 production in InterSystems products, which works as an integration engine to connect healthcare systems:

Iris Healthtoolkit Service

Easy to use HL7v2 to FHIR, CDA to FHIR, FHIR to HL7v2 as a Service.

The aim of this project is to provide an REST API that can convert easily various health formats.
Post the desire format in the REST body, get the answer in the new format.

clinFHIR is a web application that has been developed pretty much over the same time as FHIR has.

Originally developed to help clinicians visualize FHIR (hence the ‘clin’ in the name) it has become more widely used by the FHIR community for learning FHIR and assisting with design. It is maintained by David Hay - one of the FHIR Management Group co-chairs with support from InterSystems, which is much appreciated!

There are 4 modules that may be of interest to participants in the upcoming Interoperability contest.

• The Patient viewer for looking at an individual patients records
• Server Query which makes RESTful API calls against a FHIR server displaying the result in different formats
• Bundle Visualizer which will display the contents of a bundle
• Graph Builder which allows you to build graphs of interconnected resources.

I’ve created a longer post on google docs that goes into a little more details of these modules, with links to other resources such as my blog and the R4 Specification and R5 FHIR specification. I’ll be enhancing that over time - feel free to comment.

A note with regard to FHIR versions. The latest version is R5 (release 5), though many in the community still use R4. In most cases, if you're not sure then use R4. If you're not sure which version a FHIR Server supports, examine its CapabilityStatement which you can get from the server endpoint [host]/metadata

I should also point out that clinFHIR doesn’t currently use SSL. It is on the roadmap, but there are a few issues to work through. The consequence of this is that if you enter ‘clinfhir.com' into the browser, it may not find it. You sometimes have to specify http://clinfhir.com/ .

If you need further assistance, I would alway recommend using the FHIR chat, and if your question / comment / suggestion is related to clinFHIR then there’s a specific stream there.

Hello everybody! We’re happy to announce a new way to download Community Edition kits of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health. The Community Edition is a no-cost developer edition that makes it easy to start developing solutions with IRIS. You can now download these kits through the Evaluation service: evaluation.intersystems.com.

Hi Developers,

InterSystems announces its fourth developer preview for the 2023.3 release of InterSystems IRIS^® and InterSystems IRIS for Health^TM.

Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready.

InterSystems will end support for using the VxFS filesystem with InterSystems IRIS and label it as deprecated as of the release of InterSystems IRIS 2023.3. InterSystems will continue to support any existing customers using the technology, but it is no longer recommended for new deployments.
