"InterSystems IRIS for Health, best in class for healthcare enterprise application integration"

5/5

What do you like best about InterSystems IRIS for Health?

As a developer and system administrator in the healthcare sector, I've been using the product for many years and I think the strengths of InterSystems IRIS for Health are it's robustness, performance and an easy to use,rich healthcare standards implementation (e.g. HL7 v2.x, DICOM).

What do you dislike about InterSystems IRIS for Health?

It requires a significant amount of effort to achieve a comfortable level of proficiency with the product. For beginners, the MUMPS legacy, together with object oriented concepts in ObjectScript (such as multiple inheritance), may be daunting. Though embedded Python, a recent addition, may alleviate this, the product roots are still very present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- appointment data transforming and filtering, following patient consultation pathway
