Hi Community,

In this article I will explain how to display management portal dashboard by using Python Flask web and Boostrap framework with the help of embedded python
 

Hi, I would like to tell you how easy it is to spin up IRIS for Health docker container in compute engine(VPS) in google cloud.

I know that to run IRIS for Health in AWS is pretty simple and straightforward, but I wanted to tried if its same easy in GCP environment.

Create vm instance. 2GB RAM is more than enough.

I used Debian 11 as Linux distro.

Standart persistent disk is cheaper.

Don’t forget to allow http, https traffic

Last thing for setting up virtual machine is allow external ports in firewall rules.

I allow here only 52773 which is for web user interface.

I know InterSystems has the SAP Java Connector.

Has anyone used that to communicate between IRIS and SAP S/4HANA Cloud? Or some other means?

Intersystems IRIS for Health has excellent support for the FHIR industry standard. The main features are:
1. FHIR Server
2. FHIR Database
3. REST and ObjectScript API for CRUD operations on FHIR resources (patient, questionnaire, vaccines, etc.)

This article demonstrates how to use each of these features, as well as presenting an angular frontend for creating and viewing Quiz-like FHIR resources.

Step 1 - deploying your FHIR Server using InterSystems IRIS for Health

To create your FHIR Server, you must add the following instructions into iris.script file (from: https://openexchange.intersystems.

I've been working for 19 years in the technology field, and on this journey, I was able to be part of several projects on numerous fronts; however, the health area is one of the areas that attract me the most.

So whenever we get a chance to create something focused on health, using the FHIR protocol is exciting.

But, a team of 3 IT guys with a tech background would not be enough to deliver something really useful, and for a topic as important as women's health, we brought to the team someone who really understands the subject.

 Hi Community:

Pleased to let you know that in Forrester's latest "Wave" report on analytical data platforms, we have been designated a "leader." 

You can learn more from this InterSystems Press Release, or even better, read The Forrester Wave™: Translytical Data Platforms, Q4 2022.

In our current UCR arhcitecture, we use two installations. We have one machine with Access, Registry and Edges and one machine with the ODS. On the machine with the Registry, I can create a user/clinician. When I log into the management portal with this user, a so-called delegated user is created in the cached users table. So far everything is going well. 

When I try the same on the machine with the ODS I get the message : 'ERROR #822: Access Denied' . so no delegated user is created.... Does anyone have any idea where I can find the solution?

Brainstorming the project we would build to showcase in the current female health themed InterSystems FHIR Contest, our girl band decided that we need to do something practical for the ordinary user and to solve some burning issues of the modern life. This discussion led to the idea of creating a project that will help women not to forget their health in daily grind - FemTech Reminder.

Hello everyone, this is with great pleasure that I announce the V2 of my application 'Contest-FHIR'.

In this new version, I used new tools and techniques I discovered at the EUROPEAN HEALTHCARE HACKATHON in which I was invited by InterSystems as a guest and as a mentor to display the multiple projects I did in my intership back in April 2022.

Today I present to you the V2 of my application, it can now transform CSV to FHIR to SQL to JUPYTER notebook.

This is for me a really huge step in InterSystems technologies and I think this tool will be used for many other purpuse and cases.

Hello everyone, I’m a French student in academical exchange for my fifth year of engineering school and here is my participation in the FHIR for Women's Health contest.

This project is supposed to be seen as the backend of a bigger application. It can be plugged into a Front End app and help you gather information from your patients. It will read your data in local and use a Data Transformation to make it into a FHIR object before sending it to the included local FHIR server.

I wanted to participate because Women's Health is a really important topic that must be discussed more.

InterSystems is proud to announce another developer preview release, as part of the developer preview program for the 2022.3. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2022.3 and there are also brand new capabilities, such as the new FHIR SQL Builder, improvements for Columnar Storage, and support to Oracle Linux 9 (not in this preview yet).

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.

Morning everyone, 

I would appreciate some advice please- hopefully there is plenty of experts out there.

We are setting up an sFTP share between hospital trusts here in the UK and I have set the outbound operation up using a custom extension of EnsLib.HL7.Operation.FTPOperation.

We are configuring a VPN tunnel to run between the sites also so there is a bit of firewall / network routing to take place to enable the connection but to add in a complication we are on a mirrored cluster and usually present on a Virtual IP address.

Hey Community,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

I am sending an HL7 message from a BPL transform operation to a business operation that uses EnsLib.HL7.Operation.FileOperation.  

The context is that our application queues up outbound data that the business service polls every minute.  The objects in the queue are sent to the business process to transform and then to the operation to send outbound.  My goal is to have the business operation inform the business process (by a response) that the message was sent and what the message identifier is.

Hey Community,

Hello,

searching messages in our Message Bank is quite slow, often runs into timeout.

I wanted to perform a tune table on  Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank.MessageHeader because this apparently has not been done yet - the Tune Table utility shows no entries for selectivity, etc.

I tried

 w $SYSTEM.SQL.Stats.Table.GatherTableStats("""Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank"".MessageHeader")

and got this error message

  Table 'Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank.MessageHeader' is mapped to a readonly datababase. No tuning will be performed.0 ЉpTable 'Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank.MessageHeader' is mapped to a readonly datababase.

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.

Hello Community,

We're happy to announce that the InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, HealthShare Health Connect, & InterSystems IRIS Studio 2022.2 is out now!

And to discuss all the new and enhanced features of it we'd like to invite you to our webinar What’s New in InterSystems IRIS 2022.2.
