Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced "fire") is a draft standard describing data formats and elements (known as "resources") and an application programming interface (API) for exchanging electronic health records
Hey Developers,
Watch this video from our Tech Video Challenge to discover how to connect a FHIR Server and transform a batch file into SDA and then to FHIR JSON:
Dear InterSystems-Maintainer Team,
I am currently conducting a comparative evaluation of FHIR clients as part of my
bachelor thesis in health informatics. One of my evaluation criteria is the response
time to support inquiries.
Therefore, I would like to kindly ask the following question as part of my analysis:
How can I read and write custom FHIR extensions using your client library?
If available, could you point me to any documentation or examples?
Many thanks for your time and support!
Kind regards,
Rüya Gökoglu
I am making a FHIR request against Epic, in when I get the Response back using "fromDao" I am extracting the stream into HS.FHIRModel.R4.Patient. However, the patient's name comes back as name within a list that references HS.FHIRModel.R4.SeqOfHumanName.
I have been struggling sometime with trying to take a FHIR Bundle Response, extract the "entry.resourceType", extract the MRN and Name from the Patient FHIR Response...
Going through learning.intersystems.com, it suggested that I try using fhirPathAPI to parse and search my response for certain values, however I am not sure my syntax is correct. Using the AI code, it suggested to set my tree = "Bundle.entry.resource.resourceType"
So I have been working in Healthcare Interops for about a month now and in IRIS. I am looking to implement SMART on FHIR and I am currently working to make an endpoint that works as the discovery endpoint. It is a custom dispatch class and unauthenticated is selected for access. I am trying to make a simple get request from Postman to test that the proper JSON is sent, but I receive a 403 Forbidden error. It is reaching IRIS it seems so I know its not a reverse proxy error. Here is an example of my custom Dispatch Class. Then also there is a screenshot of my web application I made specifically
I am receiving a FHIR response bundle back with a resource of patient. Using fromDao, I attempted to take the stream and put it into FHIRModel.R4.Patient but it is not mapping correctly. When I attempt to take FHIRModel.R4.Patient and write it out using toString(), all I am seeing is the resource
{"resourceType":"Patient"}
so the response is not mapping correctly to FHIRModel.R4.Patient. How have others handled this? Do I need to translate it to an SDA since it does fit the model format?
I am seeking work with InterSystems HealthConnect/Cache.

Leverage InterSystems's FHIR SQL Builder to project FHIR data to a dataset for vector embedding, and feed the vector store to a RAG chain with LLM and Chatbot.

I was wondering if anyone had a way to automate creating the Query String for a FHIR Request?
Using HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request in my development I have to specify the following...
I was wondering.... if my source had variable number of fields if there was a way to automate the build for the QueryString when doing a Patient Search?
I am trying to replicate a way to use FHIR as a way to query the EMR instead of using a MS SQL Stored Procedure that is populated via HL7 ADT to query.

Based on a great sample and workshop built by @Luis Angel Pérez Ramos (see related articles and related Open Exchange app), which included a local InterSystems IRIS for Health container (and desired setup), this sample presented here, adapted the workshop for using the InterSystems Cloud FHIR Server, and it's related setup.
I have created a new docker stack with webgateway and IRIS for Health 2025.1. I have mapped the posts of wegateway like this:
I can access IRIS portal through 8743 without problems.
I also have created a FHIR repository, and I'm able to access it through 8743 port.
I have a web application, in another server with another domain, that connects to this FHIR repository. I have configured in FHIR endpoint the allowed origin to the domain of this application. But when I try to connect from this application to FHIR repository I have this error on Webgateway:
Summary:
Duties and Responsibilities:
Design and implement healthcare data integration solutions using the InterSystems platform /HealthShare platform, ensuring data interoperability across various healthcare systems.
Develop and maintain data mappings and transformations to ensure accurate data exchange between systems, leveraging IRIS API’s, HL7, FHIR, and other healthcare data standards.
Build and maintain interfaces to connect health information systems, including clinical applications, EHR, and other healthcare data sources.
You know that feeling when you get your blood test results and it all looks like Greek? That's the problem FHIRInsight is here to solve. It started with the idea that medical data shouldn't be scary or confusing – it should be something we can all use. Blood tests are incredibly common for checking our health, but let's be honest, understanding them is tough for most folks, and sometimes even for medical staff who don't specialize in lab work. FHIRInsight wants to make that whole process easier and the information more actionable.
Hi Developers!
We are happy to present the bonuses page for the applications submitted to the FHIR and Digital Health Interoperability Contest 2025!
See the results below.
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:
Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-fhir-bridge
IRIS-FHIR-Bridge is a robust interoperability engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health, designed to transform healthcare data across multiple formats into FHIR and vice versa. It leverages the InterSystems FHIR Object Model (HS.FHIRModel.R4.*) to enable smooth data standardization and exchange across modern and legacy healthcare systems.
Let me introduce you to FHIRCraft, a lightweight tool to generate synthetic FHIR resources.
Now, you might be thinking:
“But wait — doesn’t Synthea already do that, and with tons of resources?”
Exactly — and that’s precisely why I created this app.
FHIRCraft is designed to generate simpler, smaller, and more focused FHIR resources. Unlike Synthea, it doesn’t aim to simulate entire patient histories or clinical workflows. Instead, it helps when you’re just getting started with FHIR — when you want to test things incrementally, or explore how specific resources behave in isolation.
Hi Developers,
We are happy to announce the new InterSystems online programming contest dedicated to all things health-related:
🏆 InterSystems FHIR and Digital Health Interoperability Contest 🏆
Duration: May 12 - June 1, 2025
Prize pool: $12,000
After we rolled out a new cointainer based on containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth:2023.1 this week, we suddenly noticed that our FHIR Repository started responding with an Error 500. This turns out to be caused by PROTECT violations on the new HSSYSLOCALTEMP namespace and database used by this version of the IRIS for Health FHIR components.
The trick to solve that is to add the "%DB_HSSYSLOCALTEMP" to the Web Application(s) that handle FHIR Requests. You can script that by running the following Class method in the namespace(s) that define these Web Applications:
Hey Community!
We're happy to share the next video in the "Code to Care" series on our InterSystems Developers YouTube:
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.
Hi, Community!
Do you have HL7® V2 messages that you need to convert to the HL7® FHIR® format for better integration and analysis? See how the InterSystems FHIR Transformation Service can help:
