#InterSystems IRIS for Health

11

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.

We are receiving an ORU message and the vendor is requesting that we append a new OBX segment at the end of the message and I wanted to reach out to see what options might be available.

So far, I tried the append action in the DTL editor with a single OBX-3 field but it seems to be appending to the field directly instead of creating a new OBX. I've started looking into if whether I could use a function but wanted to first check with the experts on the Discussion here in case there's an easier way to accomplish this. Thank you.

Is anyone using DICOM Interoperability in IRIS for Health configured in Mirror?

I'm asking because I'm not sure how to handle where the DICOM messages are stored.

For some reason DICOM use the filesystem to store raw messages, the directory used can be configured in the StorageLocation production settings, obviously this is a big issue if/when a mirror failover occur.

Unfortunately in IRIS it's not possible to change the DICOM storage from file stream to global stream.

Has anyone came across this issue?

One of the challenges of creating a DICOM message is how to implement putting data in the correct place. Part of it is by inserting the data in the specific DICOM tags, while the other is to insert binary data such as a picture - In this article I will explain both.

To create a DICOM message, you can either use the EnsLib.DICOM.File class (to create a DICOM file) or the EnsLib.DICOM.Document class (to create a message that can be sent to PACS directly). In either case, the SetValueAt method will allow you to add your data to the DICOM tags.

Minify XML in IRIS

In a project I'm working on we need to store some arbitrary XML in the database. This XML does not have any corresponding class in IRIS, we just need to store it as a string (it's relatively small and can fit in a string).
Since there are MANY (millions!) of records in the database I decided to reduce as much as possible the size without compressing. I know that some XML to be stored is indented, some not, it varies.

Hi,

We're having an issue with some messages being sent to a downstream system from Healthshare. Part of the free text in the NTE segment is displaying with special characters on the system front-end but is not present in the HL7 message that we send to them. We are guessing that this is a result of some of the text being copied and pasted from something like MS Word. The '?' on their system is just representing an invalid character.

Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this occurring? We are sending the messages using the 'cp1252' encoding.

I was wondering if someone could help me. In the past I have been able to call external Stored Procedures through a SQL Outbound Connection and have them return me the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot to use within a BPL to extract data.

But this time instead of using a SQL Outbound BO to make the Stored Procedure call, I decided to create a Linked Stored Procedure through the %JDBC_Server to point to the Stored Procedure out on MS SQL.

However, I am struggling to get the code just right to return the Column value from the Linked Stored Procedure.

New at DTL. I need some pointers on this DTL

For all Prosthetics orders:
when ORC-1(Order Control) is "NW" (New Order), need to update OBR-18(Placer Field 1) based on PV1-2 (Patient Class) value.
assumption is that the selection logic is that all prosthetics orders with OBR-18 field is always blank.
Description :
If PV1-2 is I, insert I in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is O, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is E, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is P, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is R, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is B, insert O in OBR-18

When using standard SQL or the object layer in InterSystems IRIS, metadata consistency is usually maintained through built-in validation and type enforcement. However, legacy systems that bypass these layers—directly accessing globals—can introduce subtle and serious inconsistencies.

I am brand new to using AI. I downloaded some medical visit progress notes from my Patient Portal. I extracted text from PDF files. I found a YouTube video that showed how to extract metadata using an OpenAI query / prompt such as this one:

I cloned iris-rag-demo from Open Exchange and issued docker-compose up -d. I went to the front end and type in the chat message:

Who was the 46th President of United States of America?

I got a run time error:

HL7 DTL formatting

I need a DTL to handle this.

Any ideas appreciated.

Who hasn't been developing a beautiful example using a Docker IRIS image and had the image generation process fail in the Dockerfile because the license under which the image was created doesn't contain certain privileges?

In my case, what I was deploying in Docker is a small application that uses the Vector data type. With the Community version, this isn't a problem because it already includes Vector Search and vector storage. However, when I changed the IRIS image to a conventional IRIS (the latest-cd), I found that when I built the image, including the classes it had generated, it returned this error:

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.
