We use InterSystems Iris and HealthConnect as our intergration engine between our EMR & our vendor systems. It allows us to take in millions of HL7 messages, translate those messages according to the needs of our company & vendors and send them on to their destinations within seconds. It also works for HL7v3, X12, and API (FHIR/Json) data.

- The base code is in ObjectScript which can be quite the learning curve for individuals just starting out with the product.
- The documentation is not always clear about how or what classes and built in functions are available for use.
Most Important Features
- The ability to quickly view what systems are having issues.
- An intuitive GUI that makes different aspects of my role more efficient.
- The WRC--a 24/7 support line that offers expert advice to help you get over development hurdles.
Return on Investment
- It has improved our development speed so we are able to produce more quickly.
- It has offered the ability to provide more customized solutions in comparison to what we were using allowing us to offer a greater range of solutions.
- Custom processes are typically written in the InterSystems Development Language which does take some time to learn but it does follow standard syntax and logic.
