As I said in the previous article, I started to learn about FHIR for the contest, and I'd like to share an update in my application: detection of inconsistencies in FHIR data.

Note: This document it's also availble in GitHub.

A useful usage for FHIR unified schema is search for inconsistencies. As suggested by @Qi Li, one example could be find patients with records for diabetes medication, however, without diabetes condition.

Whats NLP Stands For?

NLP stands for Natural Language Processing which is a field of Artificial Intelligence with a lot of complexity and techniques to in short words "understand what are you talking about".

And FHIR is...???

FHIR stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources and is a standard to data structures for healthcare. There are some good articles here explainig better how FHIR interact with Intersystems IRIS.

Hi Community, 

I shared my experience working with FHIR for the first time in this article.

In that article, I wrote how I explored the FHIR Resources and talked about the information that I found useful in FHIR documentation.

The first version of my app only shows the information that FHIR Resource provides. 

I wanted to make the user able to update the patient details, so I to search for an example of how to do it. 

The Github page of fhir.js has an example of how to update a resource. 

Looking at this example made me think that it was effortless.

Hi Community,

I want to share my experience creating the iris-fhir-portal with FHIR.  

I decided to take a step forward and join the IRIS for Health FHIR contest, but I had never worked with FHIR before.

After the FHIR Contest Kick-Off Webinar, where we got an overview of how the IRIS for Health works with FHIR, I started to looking at the FHIR documentation to create my Patient Chart project.

At HL7 FHIR (release 4) website, I found a "Resource Map":

The leading FHIR Resource for my Patient Chart it's the "Patient Resource".

Hi guys.

Recently, I get interest in FHIR in order to run for the IRIS for Health FHIR contest. As a beginner on this topic, I've heard somewhat about it, but I didn't know how complex and powerful was FHIR. As pointed out by @Henrique.GonçalvesDias here, you can model several aspects of the patient history and other related entities.

Fortunately, the DC provide very nice material about FHIR and how IRIS for Health could help us to deal with such complexity.

Question Nigel Salm · Dec 3, 2019

I need to add some extensions to the HS.FHIR.vSTU3,Model.Resource.Patient class and then use those extensions to convert incoming FHIR JSON to the FHIR Patient Resource and Likewise add functionality to create A FHIR Patient (target class) from my patient database into the FHIR Patient  Resource Object (target class)

many months ago I found a tutorial that explained all of this but can no longer find that tutorial.

Yours

In the past, reading information from a bar code was limited to a simple alphanumeric code. The creation of a bar code with more than one dimension (2D), especially the QR Code, allowed to increase the amount and variety of data stored in a bar code. While conventional bar codes are capable of storing a maximum of approximately 20 digits, the QR Code is capable of handling several tens to hundreds of times more information. This revolutionized the markets. Now QR codes are everywhere and can be very useful for storing textual, numeric, alphanumeric and even binary data.This article and the

Question Ikara Ikliki · Jul 23, 2020

I have to implement a custom query result to be returned using the FHIR Bundle Resource.

I am a novice and not well versed in InterSystems yet so please excuse mistakes due to ignorance.

I have to take the query result and return in a bundle to achieve this I need to: 

  1. build the pages for the bundle from the query result according to the number of records per page configured or specified in the url
  2. store these query results using a state id
  3. when next page is request return records for the next page or according to the page number requested
