This healthcare-focused 5-day course teaches implementation partners, integrators and analysts how to rapidly build HL7® integration solutions.. Students build a production that processes and routes HL7 messages.

Students learn how to work with the pre-built HL7 business services, business processes and business operations to receive and send HL7 messages. Students also learn how to transform HL7 messages using graphical tools in the Management Portal.

This course teaches students how to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot Productions. Students also learn how to use the Management Portal for viewing, searching, and resending messages.

This course is applicable for users of InterSystems IRIS for Health®, InterSystems Ensemble®, and HealthShare®.

Developing custom business services, business processes, and business operations and using InterSystems Objects are discussed only at a high level in this course. The Developing Healthcare Integrations course covers these topics in detail.

To learn how to manage your system other than at the Production level, refer to the Managing InterSystems Servers course.
