#InterSystems IRIS for Health

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause a build-up of orphaned processes consuming system resources. In extreme cases, this can cause a system to become unresponsive.

This defect affects the following versions:

• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.4
• InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.4, 2020.1, and 2020.2
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 built on Ensemble 2018.1.4
• HealthShare Health Connect 2020.1

No other InterSystems product versions are affected by this issue.

Hi

can I have two business services listening on same port ?

so let’s say

service a port 51000

service b port 51000

this way we don’t need to open port every time we add new service

⏯ Using IRIS for Health to Reduce Readmissions

Hello,

Recently I tried to connect to JDBC on IRIS 2020.3+ and I came across the following error:

 SQL Error [461] [08S01]: [InterSystems IRIS JDBC] Communication link failure: Communication error: Server closed communication device

This error implies that the port is not open.

Hi Developers!

The InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR Contest is over. Thank you all for participating in our FHIR Competition!

And now it's time to announce the winners! 

A storm of applause goes to these developers and their applications:

Hey Developers!

This week is a voting week for the InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR Contest!

So, it's time to give your vote to the best FHIR solutions built with InterSystems IRIS for Health.

🔥 You decide: VOTING IS HERE 🔥

How to vote? This is easy: you will have one vote, and your vote goes either in Experts Nomination or in Community Nomination.

The fhir-react project defines a unique component which renders the interface based on FHIR resource type. There's no need for any configuration because the library uses the standard of defined by the resource type.

So, I decided to apply the same idea, but for charts. The basic idea is depicted below:

For instance, some FHIR resources like Observation, Condition etc., has a code. Thus, we can aggregate all codes and count them.

Such aggregation creates a standard data model.

Finally, this model could be adapted for any char library.

In order to demonstrate this idea, I implemented it for FHIR

The fhir-react project is a React UI framework based on Google Material Design, which covers almost all FHIR resources for versions DSTU2, STU3 and R4.

It design it's really friendly - there's just one component! As FHIR resource types are standards, the framework resolves internally what rendering class must be used.

To display your FHIR resource just write this component:

<FhirResource fhirResource={fhirResource} fhirVersion={fhirVersions.STU3} />

Where fhirResource is a JSON containing any FHIR resource.

In FHIR REST API, there's an operator which grabs all resources from patients: $everything:

As I said in the previous article, I started to learn about FHIR for the contest, and I'd like to share an update in my application: detection of inconsistencies in FHIR data.

Note: This document it's also availble in GitHub.

A useful usage for FHIR unified schema is search for inconsistencies. As suggested by @Qi Li, one example could be find patients with records for diabetes medication, however, without diabetes condition.

Another example is search conditions with findings (like diabetes, for instance) and a record for resources denoting "no known problems", e.g., SNOMED CT: "160245001 |No

Hi Developers!

Here're the technology bonuses for the FHIR programming contest that will give you extra points in the voting:

• FHIR Server REST API usage 
• The usage of SQL Schema of FHIR Resources 
• Healthcare standards data transformation
• Docker container usage

See the details below.

Hi,  

In my previous articles, one of the most exciting things about FHIR that I mentioned it's the wide range of possibilities that we have and not only for creating something but the ways to achieve this goal.

Whats NLP Stands For?

NLP stands for Natural Language Processing which is a field of Artificial Intelligence with a lot of complexity and techniques to in short words "understand what are you talking about".

And FHIR is...???

FHIR stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources and is a standard to data structures for healthcare. There are some good articles here explainig better how FHIR interact with Intersystems IRIS.

My Solution

Chatbot to query FHIR

The most common approach in chatbots is use machine learning to train the model based in old conversations.

Introduction

In a previous article, I discussed patterns for running unit tests via the  InterSystems Package Manager. This article goes a step further, using GitHub actions to drive test execution and reporting. The motivating use case is running CI for one of my Open Exchange projects, AppS.REST (see the introductory article for it here). You can see the full implementation from which the snippets in this article were taken on GitHub; it could easily serve as a template for running CI for other projects using the ObjectScript package manager.

Features demonstrated implementation include:

Hi Community, 

I shared my experience working with FHIR for the first time in this article.

In that article, I wrote how I explored the FHIR Resources and talked about the information that I found useful in FHIR documentation.

The first version of my app only shows the information that FHIR Resource provides. 

I wanted to make the user able to update the patient details, so I to search for an example of how to do it. 

The Github page of fhir.js has an example of how to update a resource. 

Looking at this example made me think that it was effortless. 

To update the resource, you only need to inform

Hi Community,

I want to share my experience creating the iris-fhir-portal with FHIR.  

I decided to take a step forward and join the IRIS for Health FHIR contest, but I had never worked with FHIR before.

After the FHIR Contest Kick-Off Webinar, where we got an overview of how the IRIS for Health works with FHIR, I started to looking at the FHIR documentation to create my Patient Chart project.

At HL7 FHIR (release 4) website, I found a "Resource Map":

The leading FHIR Resource for my Patient Chart it's the "Patient Resource".

Taking as an example, the Patient Resource documentation, it provides the

Hi guys.

Recently, I get interest in FHIR in order to run for the IRIS for Health FHIR contest. As a beginner on this topic, I've heard somewhat about it, but I didn't know how complex and powerful was FHIR. As pointed out by @Henrique.GonçalvesDias here, you can model several aspects of the patient history and other related entities.

Fortunately, the DC provide very nice material about FHIR and how IRIS for Health could help us to deal with such complexity.

By providing features like transform several health formats to FHIR, and FHIR data could being accessed via SQL or REST, IRIS for Health

Hey Developers!

InterSystems IRIS for Health™ includes several features that aid in healthcare interoperability including routing, support for standard data formats such as HL7v2, FHIR, CDA, a data transformation user interface, and easy integration with other systems such as for terminology services.

⏯ Interoperability for Health Overview

I need to add some extensions to the HS.FHIR.vSTU3,Model.Resource.Patient class and then use those extensions to convert incoming FHIR JSON to the FHIR Patient Resource and Likewise add functionality to create A FHIR Patient (target class) from my patient database into the FHIR Patient  Resource Object (target class)

many months ago I found a tutorial that explained all of this but can no longer find that tutorial.

Hi Developers!

InterSystems FHIR contest has been started and in this post, I want to introduce several topics you may find interesting and use to build FHIR applications with InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Amongst them are:

• a frontend mobile or web app for FHIR server FHIR REST API or SQL;
• Backend apps to perform complex queries and maintain rules;
• work with different HL7 data standards.

See the details below.

Just curious, why StructureDefinition is very empty on freshly configured FHIR server r4?

I supposed it should contain definitions for any resources available on a particular realization?

I'm used iris-fhir-template project. 

Is it possible to load that data, that should be correct for InterSystems FHIR realization?

Greeting IRIS Community,

I need some help converting XLT (XML) into DTL (XML) pragmatically using COS or any other available options in IRIS for health.
