InterSystems IRIS Review
- Utility classes
- Library functions
- Documentation and community
- RTF base64 transformation
- FHIR
- The mandate features are not available in the older versions of the product and it is difficult to upgrade the product every version release for all hence latest features can't be available for all within our organization.
A Great Interoperability Tool

IRIS, a excellent scalable product.
- It is Scalable.
- It is Lightweight.
- It is easy to maintain.
- It has excellent access for developers.
- Presentation, the interface looks outdated.
- Accessibility to non-developers.
However on a smaller scale the price is too much and consideration of a scalable price model may aid int IRIS's adoption at smaller businesses.
Fast and reliable
- For supporting employees, the code table notion is a very nice idea.
- The implementation of several data streams is quick and efficient thanks to the ability to receive, convert, and route data from many sources into a single standard.
- Our biggest challenge is constantly educating new chief architects or executives about the significance of the InterSystems platform in our environment.
- The database, integration engine, and Load balancer are all in one place. This is advantageous because there are no hidden costs and it is also far easier to set up the network configuration.
- The sales engineers are very willing to help in any situation and they are also incredibly knowledgeable about the product. They often offer more than one solution to your problem, as well as providing the pros & cons of such solutions.
- Extremely fast & reliable compared to other integration engines. The intuitive nature of the GUI also allows you to easily locate errors, resend messages, and just get a general understanding of what is going on.
- The documentation can be excellent for some things but then is non-existent for explaining other things. There should be more consistency in the level of the documentation on offer.
- Not all the methods for classes work, in particular, I have found half the methods for EnsLib.Rest.Service does not work, and doesn't provide any examples of how to use them (e.g. ReportHTTPStatusCode()).

One of the best HIS Solutions I've Ever Found
- Clinical part
- RCM part they will done all most all the DHA and insurance integrations.
- PAS part included the easiest methods for booking appointments and patient management is very easy.
- Audit log for each and every action is a very good thing.
- Code table concept is a very good idea for supporting staffs.
- UI Part little bit improvement required, but that is not a big issue.
- Once done the future booking for appointment we cannot reschedule the appointment up to today is lesser than that booking date.
- g.: Today (29/07/2022) I am booking for an appointment on 01/08/2022, I want that appointment to need to reschedule to 31/07/2022, this is not possible.
- If possible to reschedule the appointment up to the current date is a better option.
- Patient Bill is cancelled then multiple records are getting created, this will be make confusion for users.
- For IT staffs if you can provide the database related training it will be more helpful for manage the Realtime requirements.
Our company has used the database platform for decades and recently adopted their interoperability engine to enable multiple clients connect securely to our transactional routine engine in a myriad of formats (HL7v2, files, and custom data streams) allowing quick routing to the desired messaging server infrastructure (which transforms custom formats to our standard) and then sending transactions to the customer-specific database server for consumption. This allowed for easy adoption and support for our overall architecutre. As well as moving our company towards industry-standard techniques to promote easier onboarding of new employees within the integration, support, and development departments.
- Receive, transform, and route data from multiple sources into a single standard makes implementing various data streams quick and efficient. Our company used this engine to not only receive data in and push data out, but also to identify when existing data changed to trigger events as needed to build interactive features into our product such as alerting and workflow rules as well as integration with third party vendors.
- The data storage is easily configured and human readable through the definition of Cache classes. Our company built from scratch a comprehensive data model within days that was adopted for each new module within our application, all inheriting from a well-thought-out base class structure. Adjusting in future made it easy to write minimal amount of code to deploy changes across entire application.
- Analyzing and reporting through multiple querying languages and a variety of connections is very fast. Our company also took advantage of the ability to build dynamic queries built solely off the interpretation of the underlying data models to process interface transactions with a standard, universal, approach that did not rely upon hand-crafting queries for each data model individually.
- Our biggest hurdle is to continually inform new executives or chief architects about the role the InterSystems platform has in our environment. Most with no exposure immediately think they should change everything and move to something such as Microsoft SQL Server or other database platforms. Once we show them what InterSystems does for us and the exhaustive amount of features and functionality they usually get on board.
- Onboarding new developers can be time consuming if they are new to InterSystems suite of products. But our experience is that adoption can be rolled out slowly within those areas that are industry standard (database configuration, reporting, etc.) as most of the content is standard and it is just some syntax and application hurdles to overcome.
Our company is a large, healthcare-related, content management application that must process large amounts of real-time data transactions from the client's Electronic Medical Record (EMR), identify the Master Patient Index (MPI) to bring uniqueness to the patient data, and identify/alert customers with critical-to-mild processing issues - anywhere from data was rejected, to data was accepted but individual data elements need to be defined or adjusted before reporting can be deemed useful. This all has to be done within multiple transactions PER SECOND, and data has to be able to reported with minimal wait time for clients.
