#InterSystems IRIS for Health

I have a question where I have over 30 000 records of data that I would like to send in HL7 and was looking at sending these in one bulk messages instead of individual messages in HL7.In this kind of a situation has anyone ever sent a bulk HL7 messages or is there a way of doing this other than using FHIR bundle.

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.

Kong provides an open source configuration management tool (written in Go), called decK (which stands for declarative Kong)

• Check that decK recognizes your Kong Gateway installation via deck gateway ping

deck gateway ping   
Successfully connected to Kong!
Kong version:  3.4.3.11

• Export Kong Gateway configuration to a file named "kong.yaml" via deck gateway dump

deck gateway dump -o kong.yaml

• After modifying the IP adcresses in kong.yaml file, show the differences via deck gateway diff

deck gateway diff kong.

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.

I am trying to log in to the Web Gateway Management and I have missed placed the password to access the system I have tried 

changing the password under local settings in the CSP.ini  and that has managed to change the password to access the gateway but cannot log me into the management area I have followed a post here and read here and I seem not to get the answers that actual explain how I can get to the web gateway management.

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.

We have a big update this quarter. 

• RHEL 10 was released yesterday, read on for what that means for you
• 2025.3 will use OpenSSL 3 across all operating systems  SUSE 15 sp6 will be the minimum OS for orgs using SUSE
• The minimum CPU standards are going up in 2025.3
• Older Windows Server operating systems will no longer be supported in 2025.3

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,

I am creating a new rule as per screen shot below but my when condition is not matching. Please can anyone help me to understand as what could be the issue? I tried to get trace value for PV1.3.1 segment but it's returning null value.

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

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?

thanks

Hi Developers,

We are happy to announce the new InterSystems online programming contest dedicated to all things health-related:

🏆 InterSystems FHIR and Digital Health Interoperability Contest 🏆

Duration: May 12 - June 1, 2025

Prize pool: $12,000

I need to create a task to read the contents of file in an IRIS file system and store it in Persistent DB. What is the type of property thats defined in the Task that lets user select the input directory.

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.

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.

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.

Hey Community!

We're happy to share the next video in the "Code to Care" series on our InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯  Streamlining Electronic Prior Authorizations with FHIR

I'm creating a Business Process that:

1. Transforms one object into another using DTL
2. Sends this object to an operation
3. Transform the object obtained in first point into another one using DTL
4. Sends the second object to an operation

The Business Process is created with BPL, and objects are stored in BP context. When I execute this Process, in the 3rd point the object obtained in first transformation doesn't exist. It's empty.

i got a particular application where i want that a user could only write to a DB without the reading permission. is this possible?

Hi all,

I'm exited to announce a GitHub Action to do direct deploy code from a github repository direct to a IRIS Instance.

Pleas visit https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/Github-Action-IRIS-Deployer

Over the past couple of months, I have been working on the SMART on FHIR EHR Launch to test the capabilities of IRIS for Health using two open-source apps from CSIRO: SMART-EHR-Launcher and SMART Forms App. This journey has been incredibly interesting, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to work on this task and explore more of IRIS for Health’s potential.

After successfully demonstrating the seamless launch of multiple external SMART apps at the HL7 AU FHIR Connectathon, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with the community.

For background, I've developed code that relies on %JSON.Adaptor functionality across an entire package of classes in our codebase. In regenerating these classes with %JSON.Adaptor as a superclass, I've encountered compilation errors from the JSON adaptor generators in certain classes, triggered by certain property types or parameters that are incompatible.

There are two causes for these compilation errors: either 1) the property is computed, and therefore certain property methods in the code generated by the JSON adaptor, such as .

Hello Community,

Is it possible to retrieve/find all the names of subroutines, procedures, or functions from a deployed routine?. in the routine below, how can I extract names like x2 and execsql? I’ve just tried using openId on %RoutineMgr  but it didn’t help.

xdeploy.mac
xdeploy
 quit
x2 ; test1
 write 123
 q
execsql(sql) ; test2
 Set tResult = ##Class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect(,sql)
 Return tResult

Thanks
