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.

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.

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.

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.

I am struggling on how to pull out individual fields from a JSON. In a previous post someone had mentioned that I could...

  If ((tHttpResponseIsObject) && ($ZCONVERT(tHttpResponseContentType,"L") [ "application/json"))
  {
    set responseData = {}.%FromJSON(tHTTPResponse.Data)
    set pResponse = ##class(osuwmc.COM.Response.StringResponse).%New()
    if responseData.count =1{
      set pResponse.COMPortalURL = responseData.items.%Get(0).portalUrl
      set pResponse.COMPureID = responseData.items.%Get(0).pureId
      set pResponse.COMTitle = responseData.items.%Get(0).titles.%Get(0

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

Here we go😀, we start a terminal from VSCode to connect to our IRIS

We are going to created Document DB demo.docpatient

After we rolled out a new cointainer based on containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth:2023.1 this week, we suddenly noticed that our FHIR Repository started responding with an Error 500. This turns out to be caused by PROTECT violations on the new HSSYSLOCALTEMP namespace and database used by this version of the IRIS for Health FHIR components.

The trick to solve that is to add the "%DB_HSSYSLOCALTEMP" to the Web Application(s) that handle FHIR Requests. You can script that by running the following Class method in the namespace(s) that define these Web Applications:

do ##class(HS.

Hello, community!

I am working on implementing OAuth 2.0 authentication in InterSystems IRIS and need to correctly define a CSRF token that will be validated by OAuth.Response. However, I am having trouble finding a clear method to configure the CSRF token correctly.

So far, I have tried:

  • Setting the CSRF token in the request header.
  • Inserting the CSRF token via InsertCookie.

Despite these attempts, I haven’t been successful. On the OAuth.Response page, the CSRF token is empty, and I get the error message “Invalid CSRF token” because the csrfToken is empty.

Question Mark OReilly · Oct 25, 2024

We have a scenario where we use the best practice article of a BP and DTL to split up HL7 messages mainly ORUS 

https://community.intersystems.com/post/splitting-oru-messages-using-ob…

It is really useful but we have this code in many places that we are trying to consolidate it in one place. 

We do not want to split it at the first stage in our rules as there is a lot of messages that go to sink. So we are trying for specific rules and the incoming hl7 matches certain rules and classified for certain downstream systems that it is then split and transformed.

Question Ashok Kumar T · May 22, 2025

Hello Community,

When I run the following code with x undefined in terminal, it throws a syntax error and returns control to the program stack. After issuing a GO command, execution continues, and setting the global variable ^zz1.

code 1:

test.mac
if $Data(@x@(a,b,c)) {
    set ^zz1=1212
}
write !,1212,!
//
//or
if $Data(@x@(a,b,c)) set ^zz1=1212
write !,1212,!

 if I assign the result of $D(@x@(a,b,c)) to a local variable like d using set d=$D(@x@(a,b,c)), and then use if d { ... }, the code fails(global is not set) working as expected.

Code 2

I'm trying to deploy a python/flask application to an Iris4Health container (2025.1) but running into some issues with packages and where they should be installed. 

First one if the flask packages themselves. I tried to installed the flask packages into the python external language server virtual environment, but even doing this when configuring the WSGI application in the web application section, it would complain about not having a WSGI framework. Once I created a custom container and added the flask package at the OS level, I was able to configure the web application without it complaining.

We’re issuing a point release for InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, and Health Connect 2025.1 — version 2025.1.0.225.1 — to address a critical interoperability issue affecting users who leverage System Default Setting enabled business hosts.

What’s the issue?
In certain configurations where a Business Host is marked as System Default Setting enabled, applying new settings via the UI may incorrectly indicate that changes were applied, even though the necessary restart did not occur.
