IRIS supports CCDA and FHIR transformations out-of-the-box, yet the ability to access and view those features requires considerable setup time and product knowledge. The IRIS Interop DevTools application was designed to bridge that gap, allowing implementers to immediately jump in and view the built-in transformation capabilities of the product. 

In addition to the IRIS XML, XPath, and CCDA Transformation environment, the Interop DevTools package now provides:
