#InterSystems IRIS for Health

12

InterSystems IRIS for Health™ is the world’s first and only data platform engineered specifically for the rapid development of healthcare applications to manage the world’s most critical data. It includes powerful out-of-the-box features: transaction processing and analytics, an extensible healthcare data model, FHIR-based solution development, support for healthcare interoperability standards, and more. All enabling developers to realize value and build breakthrough applications, fast. Learn more.

I joined InterSystems less than a year ago. Diving into ObjectScript and IRIS was exciting, but also full of small surprises that tripped me up at the beginning. In this article I collect the most common mistakes I, and many new colleagues, make, explain why they happen, and show concrete examples and practical fixes. My goal is to help other new developers save time and avoid the same bumps in the road.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that no matter how polished your application logic is, database performance will eventually make or break the user experience. Working with InterSystems IRIS, I recently ran into this firsthand. A client of ours was building a reporting dashboard that worked flawlessly during testing—but once their production dataset grew into the millions, response times slowed to a crawl.

We currently have Business Operation that we built to use the EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter so we can make Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedure calls. The BO is attached to a Java Gateway Service.

Some of our MS SQL Databases have moved from being OnPrem to Azure Cloud. We have started seeing where we are receiving errors on the BO saying that we cannot connect to the Azure Database, but we never receive a Disconnect from the Azure Database.

Often times when working with FHIR data, for example with IRIS For Health, you'll find it useful to create a custom FHIR operation. The FHIR Standard comes with a set of defined operations (such as $everything) but a custom operation comes in handy when you need to create some extra functionality that goes beyond the set of standard FHIR operations.
