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.

Introduction

This is the fifth part of the series of articles on migrating from the main databases on the market to InterSystems IRIS. In this part, the procedures for migrating from Oracle Database 21c will be detailed. As described in previous articles, there are currently a few options for how to do the migration, but the two most popular ones include the use of DBeaver (https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/DBeaver) or SQLGateway.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol for transmitting files over TCP/IP connections in a network (including the Internet) configured to transfer files via this protocol. In an FTP transaction, a file sender is called a local host. A file receiver involved in FTP is a remote host, and it is usually a server. Although many file transfers can be conducted using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), FTP is still commonly used to transfer files behind the scenes for other applications, such as banking services.

If you want to get the initial and last day of a month, I have a ClassMethod to you (version 2, fixed an error found by Eduard):

ClassMethod GetMonthPeriods(InitialYear As %Integer, EndYear As %Integer) As %Status
{
    set sc = $$$OK
    set result = []
    For CurrentYear = InitialYear:1:EndYear {
        For CurrentMonth = 1:1:12 {

            If CurrentMonth < 10 {
                Set CurrentMonthStr = "0"_CurrentMonth
            } Else {

Samba is the standard for file services interoperability across Linux, Unix, DOS, Windows, OS/2 and other OS. Since 1992, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file services for all clients (OS and programs) using the SMB/CIFS protocol. Network administrators have used SAMBA to create shared network folders to allow company employees to create, edit and view corporate files as if they were on their computers locally, when these files are physically located on a network file server. It is possible to create a network folder in Linux and see it as a shared folder in Windows, for example.

EHR (Electronic Health Record) systems are modeled in a proprietary format/structure and are not based on market models such as FHIR or HL7. Some of these systems can interoperate data in a proprietary format for FHIR and other market models, but others can not. InterSystems has two platforms that can interoperate proprietary formats for market ones: InterSystems HealthShare Connect and InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Python has become the most used programming language in the world (source: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) and SQL continues to lead the way as a database language. Wouldn't it be great for Python and SQL to work together to deliver new functionality that SQL alone cannot? After all, Python has more than 380,000 published libraries (source: https://pypi.org/) with very interesting capabilities to extend your SQL queries within Python. This article details how to create new SQL Stored Procedures in InterSystems IRIS Database using Embedded Python.

The Carbon Footprint Counter application uses the GHG Protocol to measure carbon emissions on enterprises. The GHG protocol establishes comprehensive global standardized frameworks to measure and manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from private and public sector operations, value chains and mitigation actions.

Building on a 20-year partnership between World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), GHG Protocol works with governments, industry associations, NGOs, businesses and other organizations. (source: https://ghgprotocol.org/about-us).

One of the crucial business dimensions is the dimension “Where”. It is necessary to know where a customer was born or where he lives. Where will the order be delivered? Where have there been more sales, and where can we sell more? Where are our stores located? From Where is the customer accessing our e-commerce? These and other principal questions use the “Where” dimension. Today the best service to provide geographic accuracy and quality for these data is Google Maps. Taking advantage of the Python support of the new IRIS (2021.2+), we can use the Geocoder library (https://geocoder.

The InterSystems IRIS has excellent support for encryption, decryption and hashing operations. Inside the class %SYSTEM.Encryption (https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20212/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic…) there are class methods for the main algorithms on the market.


IRIS Algorithms and Encrypt/Decrypt types

As you can see, the operations are based on keys and include 3 options:

  • Symmetric Keys: the parts running encrypt and decrypt operations share the same secret key.

Globals are the core of the InterSystems IRIS for data persistence. It is flexible, allowing store JSON documents, relational data, object oriented data, OLAP cubes and custom data models, like Mindmaps. To see how to store, delete and get mindmap data using globals, follow these steps:

1. Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/global-mindmap.git

2. Open a Docker terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build

3. Run the IRIS container:

$ docker-compose up -d

There are several ways of classifying cryptographic algorithms: 1) Secret Key Cryptography (SKC) - Uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. It is also called symmetric encryption. Primarily, it was used for privacy and confidentiality; 2) Public Key Cryptography (PKC) - Uses one key for encryption and another one for decryption. It is also called asymmetric encryption. Initially, it was utilised for authentication, non-repudiation, and key exchange; 3) Hash Functions - Uses a mathematical transformation to irreversibly "encrypt" information, providing a digital fingerprint.
