Digital health solution providers face increasing pressure to integrate complex health data systems while ensuring scalability, security, and compliance with standards like HL7 FHIR. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) has revolutionized health data exchange by offering a standardized framework that allows diverse health IT systems to communicate effortlessly. But simply adhering to FHIR standards isn’t enough to overcome the intricacies of health data integration. Solution partners must leverage advanced architectural components like FHIR brokers, façades, and repositories to build scalable and efficient solutions. InterSystems offers all the essential features you need to implement FHIR for your health data, whether on-premises, in a public cloud, or as a cloud-based service managed by InterSystems.

Question Dmitrii Baranov · Jun 5, 2025

I'm not so experienced in administering IRIS but as far as I understand IRIS for Health community comes with a web server out-of-the-box while licensed editions require Web Gateway to be deployed.

I was able to install dockerized instances of IRIS for Health 2025.1 along with Web Gateway, double checked that _SYSTEM and CSPSystem users are not locked, changed passwords for both, configured the gateway to connect to IRIS, then created a web gateway app (/iris) and checked the connection is OK.Now I'm struggling with accessing Management Portal.

We have an OAuth server configured as an identity provider, and we have an external application (from another provider) that connects correctly with OAuth.

Due to the needs of the project, what we want to do is the following:

  • If the user is not authenticated, show the OAuth login page, have them log in, and redirect them to the third-party app --> This part works
  • If the user is already authenticated (already logged in and already has a valid access_token), we create a cookie with the access_token generated at login, and when entering the third-party application URL, instead of showing the

Question TAZ.R · May 6, 2025

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this community and could really use some help with creating a production in InterSystems IRIS for Health Community 2024.3. I have deployed my instance using Docker.
Here’s what I’m trying to do:

  1. Input: I have an HL7 file that is processed by the standard EnsLib.HL7.Service.FileService.
  2. DTL Transformation: I’ve created a DTL to transform the HL7 content into a custom class like this:
Class Demo.MyApp.Messages.JSONEvent5 Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)
{
Property rawpatientid As%String;Property rawpatientfamilyname As%String;Property rawpatientgivenname As%

Question Scott Roth · Jun 4, 2025

Does anyone have a query that I could run to show a Vendor the time difference between when a message was sent out a BO, and when we received the HL7 ACK back that is associated with the message sent?

I am trying to prove to this vendor of the delay we are seeing getting the ACK back because of a Timeout

I know how to pull Ens.MessageHeader, and EnsLib.HL7.Message but not sure how to match up the Message with the HL7 Acknowledgement received.

I am attempting to failover my TEST environment to the Backup, and I keep getting an error stating that 

06/01/25-18:47:54:516 (11864) 1 [Utility.Event] Primary startup failed, failed to read header of /archive/journal/MIRROR-IRISTEST-20250513.007 (file #63653)

however, when I go to /archive/journal/, I am not finding any record of MIRROR-IRISTEST-20250513.007 (file #63653)

to get out of this error message I have to restart what was the Primary and restart the Backup to get it back into a state that we can use it. 

There is a Namespace/Database that is on the backup and not part of the mirror,

Question Scott Roth · Jun 2, 2025

We are attempting to setup an EnsLib.SOAP.OutboundAdapter to send an HL7 message to a vendor hosted AWS site. We have the Certificate from the vendor and defined the TLS setting. However, when we are sending the message we are receiving...

Unable to open TCP/IP socket to server hcis-staging.cbord.com:443

So, we figured it might be a firewall issue.With the TCP Outbound Adapter, we could specify which "Local Interface" to use so that our firewall knew to use the VIP that had has been NAT'd.I don't see this option with the EnsLib.SOAP.OutboundAdapter, so is this possible to do?

You know that feeling when you get your blood test results and it all looks like Greek? That's the problem FHIRInsight is here to solve. It started with the idea that medical data shouldn't be scary or confusing – it should be something we can all use. Blood tests are incredibly common for checking our health, but let's be honest, understanding them is tough for most folks, and sometimes even for medical staff who don't specialize in lab work. FHIRInsight wants to make that whole process easier and the information more actionable.

IRIS supports CCDA and FHIR transformations out-of-the-box, yet the ability to access and view those features requires considerable setup time and product knowledge. The IRIS Interop DevTools application was designed to bridge that gap, allowing implementers to immediately jump in and view the built-in transformation capabilities of the product. 

In addition to the IRIS XML, XPath, and CCDA Transformation environment, the Interop DevTools package now provides:

  • FHIR-SDA Transformation setup
  • SDA-FHIR Transformation setup
  • Bubbling up of FHIR validation errors
  • Loading of required context for

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-fhir-bridge 
IRIS-FHIR-Bridge is a robust interoperability engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health, designed to transform healthcare data across multiple formats into FHIR and vice versa. It leverages the InterSystems FHIR Object Model (HS.FHIRModel.R4.*) to enable smooth data standardization and exchange across modern and legacy healthcare systems.

Google Forms is the most popular solution on the market for collecting data, answering questionnaires and quizzes. So, it is the ideal solution for collecting patient data and responses in a practical way, without the need to expand or develop systems. In this article, I will detail how to create an account on Google Cloud, register the application that will consume the Google Forms API, generate the service user necessary to consume the API and finally perform actions to create new forms and collect data filled in them in an automated way in embedded Python and IRIS.

Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler
Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.

Template engines are essential for producing customizable dynamic content, without the need for compilation and opening up great possibilities of extensibility for the template user.Especially if the template engine supports Python.A popular solution for template engine is Mko.It is is a template library written in Python.It provides a familiar, non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance.Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django and Jinja2 templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi.

Let me introduce you to FHIRCraft, a lightweight tool to generate synthetic FHIR resources.

Now, you might be thinking:
“But wait — doesn’t Synthea already do that, and with tons of resources?”
Exactly — and that’s precisely why I created this app.

FHIRCraft is designed to generate simpler, smaller, and more focused FHIR resources. Unlike Synthea, it doesn’t aim to simulate entire patient histories or clinical workflows. Instead, it helps when you’re just getting started with FHIR — when you want to test things incrementally, or explore how specific resources behave in isolation.

Hi everyone,

It's me again😁. As usual I would like to share something I study recently, and today, I would like to share about the document DB😁.

1st of all, let's go to the documentation https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GDOCDB_intro
Well, I must say, this one is much better to follow than the others, which I read before. 😭 Finally😭😭

Ok, let's start walking through it together

We are going to created Document DB demo.docpatient

hey everyone,

we are new to InterSystems health share, we are running health connect in a cluster with primary, backup and dr nodes.

we kept noticing that web applications definitions aren't showing in the backup or dr node.

is that normail? would they show up after failover to backup node or cutover to dr node?
