Building and Managing HL7 Integrations November 28-December 2, 2022   9:00am-5:00 US-Eastern Time (EST)

Hi Community:

Thought you might be interested in this new partner we just signed in Sydney -- PainChek® Ltd , the Australian-based developer of the world’s first pain assessment and monitoring application for smartphones. Its software-as-a-service, artificial intelligence platform uses smart devices with cameras to accurately evaluate pain levels. 

PainChek is using InterSystems IRIS for Health™ and integrating its application with electronic medical record (EMR) systems – including InterSystems TrakCare®.

Hi, I have a laptop with a Core i5 processor, a workstation with AMD Athlon 3000G processor, and another workstation with AMD Ryzen 3900 onboard. I was succeded to install IRIS Health community on the laptop. On both AMD workstations the install process hangs. I've waited for 8 hours but with no avail. What could be wrong with AMD?

Hi, The IRIS Health Docker image comes with Java 1.8 but I need OpenJDK 11. How could I install that using aptitude or somehow else? The apt-get command requires elevation but if I rewrite the command with sudo apt-get it won't build with error message /bin/sh: sudo: not found Is it possible to do what I want?

While this article is about InterSystems IRIS, it also applies to Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions.

Introduction

Memory is managed in pages.  The default page size is 4KB on Linux systems.  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, and Oracle Linux 6 introduced a method to provide an increased page size in 2MB or 1GB sizes depending on system configuration know as HugePages.

At first HugePages required to be assigned at boot time, and if not managed or calculated appropriately could result in wasted resources.  As a result various Linux distributions introduced Transparent HugePages with the 2.6.38 kernel as enabled by default.  This was meant as a means to automate creating, managing, and using HugePages.  Prior kernel versions may have this feature as well however may not be marked as [always] and potentially set to [madvise].  

Transparent Huge Pages (THP) is a Linux memory management system that reduces the overhead of Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) lookups on machines with large amounts of memory by using larger memory pages.  However in current Linux releases THP can only map individual process heap and stack space.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the 2022.2 release of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, InterSystems IRIS for Health, HealthShare Health Connect, and InterSystems IRIS Studio are now Generally Available (GA).

2022.2 is a Continuous Delivery (CD) release. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2022.2, in SQL management, cloud integration, Kafka and JMS adapters, the SQL Loader, and other areas. The new Columnar Storage has been released, but it stills an experimental feature.

Hey Developers,

We're pleased to invite you to join the InterSystems webinar on Building and Enabling Healthcare Applications with HL7 FHIR!

Date: Wednesday, November 09, 2022
Time: 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
Duration: 30 minutes

Good morning, evening, night,... 

A small reflection/question for today... it's true that new IRIS for Health (I4H) releases are more and more powerful each time regarding FHIR capabilities. Nowadays it allows us to consume FHIR resources with extrem easiness, we can connect with end-points in external FHIR servers very easily and make I4H act as passthrough or consume their resources... or, even more, we can define, configure and run a FHIR repository in, literally, less than 5 minutes.

This is the tenth in a series of releases that are part of the developer preview program for 2022.2. Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready. Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together.

As usual,  CD releases come with classic installation packages for all supported platforms, as well as container images in Docker container format.  For a complete list, refer to the Supported Platforms document.

I am demonstrating a use case of how we can create an IRIS Interoperability Production for special use in an external language. InterSystems IRIS, within Interoperability has a framework called Production Extension (PEX), using which we can create productions and program them as per their purpose using external languages like Java, Python etc, and also develop custom inbound and outbound adapters to communicate with other applications. Here in this demo, I will demonstrate a PEX framework-based production created by @Guillaume Rongier on Python, and I am using ‘task-specific’ business

When using the REST API classes for building services on a spec-first approach, the implementation class methods are usually built this format:

ClassMethod <method-name>(body As %DynamicObject) As %Stream.Object

But sometimes it keeps building the endpoint implementation method like this:

ClassMethod <method-name>(body As %Stream.Object) As %DynamicObject

It has been a problem because the rest of my implementation rely on the fact that the "body" object is a DynamicObject.

The REST spec is exactly the same for all endpoints, but this last it built keeps presenting this problem.

HI Community.

How can I make the most out of the Dashboards?

We use the System monitor for checking issues as a visual, can that be expanded into a dashboard?

InterSystems is pleased to announce that the extended maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and HealthShare Health Connect 2022.1.1 are now available. These releases provide a few selected features and bug fixes for the 2022.1.0 releases.

Hi Team,

Can you please help me to develop EDI X12 to XML and XML to EDI X12 conversion in IRIS 2021.1 for EDI 204, also known as Motor Carrier Load Tender?

Also, suggest flow for how to achieve this kind of functionality in InterSystems IRIS. If you are able to provide some Videos/Documents on the EDI X12 interface for 204 then it would be very helpful for me.

Thanks,

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol for transmitting files over TCP/IP connections in a network (including the Internet) configured to transfer files via this protocol. In an FTP transaction, a file sender is called a local host. A file receiver involved in FTP is a remote host, and it is usually a server. Although many file transfers can be conducted using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), FTP is still commonly used to transfer files behind the scenes for other applications, such as banking services. Consequently, we can say that FTP is an excellent option for promoting

A simple production that enables FHIR transaction bundles to be loaded into InterSystems® FHIR® Server via Box and Dropbox.  Using the included MFT Connection Components and a 14 liner Custom Business Process, this production will process your transaction bundles to FHIR Resources for immediate consumption with Harry Potter like wizardry.  Great for Hackathons, Research and FHIR® Cocktail parties.

Docker 20.10.14 (released March 23, 2022) changes the Linux capabilities given to containers in a manner that is incompatible with the Linux capability checker in InterSystems IRIS 2021.1 (and up) containers. 

Users running Docker 20.10.14 on Linux will find that IRIS 2021.1+ containers will fail to start and the logs will incorrectly report that required Linux capabilities are missing.  For example:

Anybody willing to share a method form the ZPM cli (or othewise) where zpm will "Install package if not already installed?"  I would want this to count for updates too I think as I would want to control that too.

The use case is in a CI-CD pipeline, where the pipeline can be used to provision start to state, but for somethings only do once.  An example would be I have a package that provisions a fhir package or search parameter in my own way, but doesnt do it again when somebody merges operational code and the pipeline fires again, it would not attempt to load the fhir package again.

1. Summary

There are still legacy systems in the healthcare industry that use PB9, Delphi7, and other languages. To speed up the development process and enable third party applications to invoke the build-in HL7 V2 webservice provided by Ensemble or IRIS ASAP, we provide here several examples of invocations of Ensemble's HL7 V2 SOAP interface using Java, PB9 and Delphi7.

Assuming that EnsLib.HL7.Service.SOAPService.CLS, a build-in Business Service, is added to Production and named PeiXunHl7SoapIn, the external system can access HL7 V2 SOAP webservice through the following endpoint.

Hello Community!

We're excited to announce the launch of the new topic on the French Developer Community! This back-to-school season we start talking about FHIR! What does it mean for our members?

Hi developers! have you ever implemented a DICOM integration? Maybe you have searched for an example, or even a simulator. Here you can find a example that may be useful.

DICOM is a message standard widely used in healthcare for diagnostic images.You can use DICOM standard in interoperability productions using both IRIS For Health and Health Connect, here you can find the documentation.
