Introduction

FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is the modern standard for storing and exchanging clinical data. But once your data is in a FHIR server, how do you actually explore it? FHIR data is stored as JSON — powerful, but not practical to read directly. I wanted a tool where you could click on a patient, see their conditions, medications, lab results, and more — in a clean, readable format. So I built the FHIR Patient Viewer.

How It Works

The app runs entirely in Docker and connects directly to an InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR server.

Question Bernat · Mar 30

Hi everyone,

I’ve configured an integration scenario in InterSystems IRIS with a Business Service exposed as a SOAP web service. Everything works correctly when the web application allows unauthenticated access.

However, when I switch the web application to require Basic Authentication, I’m unable to get it working properly. I have configured a resource and assigned it to both the web application and the user I’m using for the request, but I consistently get login failures (visible in the audit log).

Working with files often starts off simple. open the file, read, and process. That approach works perfectly well, until the file happens to be an Excel file.

A Common Assumption

At first, an Excel file (.xlsx) looks like just another data file, rows, columns and values. nothing unusual. So it's natural to assume it can be read the same way as a .txt ot .csv file. But that's where things start to break.

Why Excel files behave differently

The key difference is how the data is stored:

-> .txt / .csv - plain text, line-by-line.

-> .

Discussion Juan Mota Sanchez · Mar 26

My team is trying to decide on the best Git strategy for a group of related but separate projects/environments.

One side prefers one repo per project/environment/namespace for cleaner separation. The other side prefers one repo with multiple project folders so shared code and releases are easier to manage in one place.

The challenge is that these projects are separate enough that boundaries matter but related enough that some utilities and common logic may need to be reused. We also want the setup to be easy for developers to understand and not become a deployment nightmare later.

v2026.1 was just released as GA, and one of the features I'm looking forward to using is the DTL Explainer feature.

This allows you to take a Data Transformation, and with a click of a button get a human-readable description of the transformation (which you can also use as the basis for the DTL Description).

For complex DTLs, especially ones you didn't write yourself, or you did but a long time ago, this will allow you to get a clear quick understanding of what it's doing.

Hi Guys,

I've connected VS Code to my IRIS server and can see projects & web application option but not Classes tab, how can I add it, and with the old Studio we do have the Inspector tab where we can check properties, Storage, methods, are these available in VS code?

also does any changes or new classes created via VS code automatically reflected in my IRIS namespace ? 

Thanks
