Hi,
I’m getting started on a FHIRcast Adapter for legacy apps:
https://github.com/fhircast/fhircast-adapter
I would appreciate contribution and/or input on useful features.
@John Silva : I was thinking to put in code to interact with the iSite viewer interface since that cannot be done with PowerShell alone. Any objections on Philips side?
Thanks to @Isaac Vetter for his support,
Martin

@Martin Bellehumeur - I do not know enough about the iSite product so I can't give any guidance here. (I work with the Acute care products). Maybe @Chris Melo can help since I believe he knows folks on the iSite team.

Thanks. I know the iSIte interface, just wanted to make sure I don't do this without your knowledge. Our RIS has an old Visual Basic bridge for iSite (developer changed to another job ) and I'm hoping to inspire them to modernize.

I have to check with management at Nuance. I don't know if they want me in Cleveland or San Antonio!
I developed a desktop integration for Powerscribe360 with iSiteRadiology. They have a very robust web API. They could easily build a FHIRCast wrapper around it. All of our code is done in javascript.

@John Silva , @Chris Melo : I made a little demo clip of the adapter with IntelliSpace.:

Just watched the demo video, nice! It got me to thinking --- I like your adapter approach; provides flexibility. It also got me thinking -- what if there was a CCOW to FHIRcast adapter!! (of course not all CCOW operations can be done in FHIRcast, but maybe some can. Maybe this could provide a bridge, of sorts, to existing CCOW-compliant systems? I'm thinking only of the CCOW client side [Context Participant], not the server side [Context Manager])

Is there open-source ccow code somewhere?
Martin Bellehumeur (Visage Imaging) (Dec 18 2018 at 09:02):
HI,
I’ve looked into it and I won’t be doing a CCOW interface. None of the Siemens products are using CCOW. Here I’m trying to fix a current issue of our RIS while bringing them into FHIRcast. I think there is a fine line where we don’t want to encourage products to keep their old interfaces.
John Silva (Dec 18 2018 at 12:23):
That makes sense. I was just thinking of wa way to bridge the systems that might already be CCOW-enabled, though maybe there are fewer and fewer of these today. I did search for "CCOW open source" and did find this one: https://github.com/jonathanbp/ccow.contextmanager
Martin Bellehumeur (Visage Imaging) (Dec 18 2018 at 13:38):
Interesting. Maybe a nodejs hub that supports both FHIRcast and CCOW clients. Something to keep in mind...
For now, I think my holiday project will be a FHIRcast plug-in for Osirix/Horos.
