This is the base template for using InterSystems IRIS for Health Community Edition as a FHIR Server

It setups a FHIR SERVER, imports the test data, demoes REST API usage with a simple web page.

Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.

Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/intersystems-community/iris-fhir-template.git

Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose up -d

The template goes with 5 preloaded patents in /data/fhir folder which are being loaded during docker build You can generate more patients doing the following. Open shel terminal in repository folder and call:

#./synthea-loader.sh 10

this will create 10 more patients in data/fhir folder. Then open IRIS terminal in FHIRSERVER namespace with the following command:

docker-compose exec iris iris session iris -U FHIRServer

and call the loader method:

FHIRSERVER>d ##class(fhirtemplate.Setup).LoadPatientData("/irisdev/app/data/fhir","FHIRSERVER","/fhir/r4")

with using the following project

Open URL http://localhost:32783/fhir/r4/metadata you should see the output of fhir resources on this server

Get fhir resources metadata GET call for http://localhost:32783/fhir/r4/metadata

Open Postman and make a GET call for the preloaded Patient: http://localhost:32783/fhir/r4/Patient/1

the very basic frontend app with search and get calls to Patient and Observation FHIR resources could be found here: http://localhost:32783/csp/user/fhirUI/FHIRAppDemo.html or from VSCode ObjectScript menu:

While open the page you will see search result for female anemic patients and graphs a selected patient's hemoglobin values:

This repository is ready to code in VSCode with ObjectScript plugin. Install VSCode, Docker and ObjectScript plugin and open the folder in VSCode. Open /src/cls/PackageSample/ObjectScript.cls class and try to make changes - it will be compiled in running IRIS docker container.

Feel free to delete PackageSample folder and place your ObjectScript classes in a form /src/Package/Classname.cls Read more about folder setup for InterSystems ObjectScript

The script in Installer.cls will import everything you place under /src into IRIS.

The simplest dockerfile which starts IRIS and imports Installer.cls and then runs the Installer.setup method, which creates IRISAPP Namespace and imports ObjectScript code from /src folder into it. Use the related docker-compose.yml to easily setup additional parametes like port number and where you map keys and host folders. Use .env/ file to adjust the dockerfile being used in docker-compose.

Settings file to let you immedietly code in VSCode with VSCode ObjectScript plugin)

Config file if you want to debug with VSCode ObjectScript

ERROR #5001: Error -28 Creating Directory /usr/irissys/mgr/FHIRSERVER/ If you see this error it probably means that you ran out of space in docker. you can clean up it with the following command:

docker system prune -f

And then start rebuilding image without using cache:

docker-compose build --no-cache

and start the container with:

docker-compose up -d
