The public API registration is now available so that you can receive system updates including enumerations.

To register visit:

http://www.health-cloud.com

Jump right to sites and plans, registration for community edition updates is completely free.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are 10 distinct updates right now, we are in the process of revising those into 1. If you update you system now it will be fine for development and experimentation but within a week or two we will release the final community edition 3.0 base update. You will need to wipe you install or at least the enumeration tables and a few other to receive that update.

My CH 3.0 installation seems to be reaching its final stages.
Updates are all installed by update manager, with 294 records
in the database. Except for "NSDR" and "Processing Daemon"
services that are stopped, and do not start.

AT this stage "AllTests.php" runs for a long time and finally
returns with only the below error on the line that states:

Any ideas?

This one had me baffled for a long time and the solution is even more strange.

Try this in PHP
<?php
$a = 200.00 - 191.49 - 8.51;
$b = 200.00 - (191.49 + 8.51);

echo "a = $a <br><br>";
echo "b = $b <br><br>";
?>

This is the problem !! - makes no sense logically but I am sure there is some type conversion involved.

Attached is the patch - please commit.
It does not really need extensive testing - no harm in putting a parenthesis anyway.

Here is another patch.
On the encounter screen (one that is billed/closed), if you look at the fees for a CPT code, you will see that it shows you the current fees from the fee schedule and NOT the fees that were actually billed for the claim on the date it was billed.

This matters when you change the fee schedule.

e.g. last week you billed a 99204 for $20 and subsequently you changed the fee for 99204 to $15 (yes the sad story is only in medicine fees decrease every year !).
If you now look at the encounter, you will see $15 against the 99204 code when it should really show $20.

Again a simple fix but important nonetheless.

Jay - please incorporate.

Thanks

I found a lot of "orphan" entries in the coding_data table and finally narrowed it down to this:
If you create and encounter and add claim line to it (i.e. a CPT and ICD).
Then if you edit that claim line it deletes the CPT properly and reinserts an updated CPT, but for the ICD it does NOT delete the old ICD, rather it just keeps creating new rows for ICD.
So if you edit an encounter many times for many clim lines, you will end up with a lot of orphan entries in the coding_data table.

Jay, attached is the patch - please commit to the code after you look through it - it is a very simple error.

I have another and more serious patch which I discovered due to some funny calculations showing up in the account history. That will be in another post.

Hello to our Open Source Users and Contributors,

We are now releasing a developer preview of the completely new 3.0 community edition. The new 3.0 version encompasses nearly 2 years of effort and the combined experience of our organization, our customers and the extensive feedback from you our contributors. To date ClearHealth has been an amazing success and is now installed in over 1,000 facilities worldwide. Here in the US there are now more than 4 million patients in ClearHealth systems which represents a market share of a little more than 1%, in contrast the largest market share for a single company is 14%. The market has spoken and open systems offer unequivocal value to healthcare.

In continuing to grow and respond to feedback from our customers, open source users and contributors there are some very significant changes to how our product lines are structured as of 3.0 and these are explained below:

*ClearHealth (TM) Community Edition: is our publicly available GPL licensed version with configuration settings aimed at smaller 1-5 provider practices. Encumbered datasets such as the AMA's CPT Procedure Codes, NCCI, meds data, and so forth are available as an add-on pack for a reasonable fee ($250 for 5 users).
Our goals with this edition are to make it as easy as possible for a small practice to use the highest quality practice management and electronic medical records system for no cost other than the licensed data sets.
EMR capabilities have been dramatically expanded and derive from the Veterans Administration VistA system which provides clinically proven improvements to patient outcomes. In use for more than 30 years VistA offers an incomparable model for improving the treatment of patients through technology.

*ClearHealth (TM) Advantage Edition: is our commercial edition for facilities not on a 24-hour cycle of care (traditional outpatient). Though the bulk of this edition is under the GPL3 and shared with the community edition there are many elements such as integration with services and devices, that are covered by other licenses. Source code for this edition is available only to commercial customers under the respective licenses (including the GPL). Because of royalty terms we are not able to provide the GPL portion of this source to non-customer parties.

Also note that the majority of our commercial offerings are delivered to larger institutions so this edition includes a number of system requirements that are not realistic for very small practices including RHEL, RHWAS PHP, and multiple high-end servers for redundancy.

*ClearHealth WebVista (TM): is our commercial edition for facilities operating a 24-hour cycle of care (traditional inpatient). Built on a modernized version of the VA VistA platform this system offers a comprehensive solution to organizations seeking the benefits and proven track record of VistA without the headaches of legacy technology and with the ability to horizontally scale to any size with commodity systems and technology.
This system is currently operating in private beta at 6 sites from 12 beds to 115 beds. The system is being provided under GPL/LGPL/AGPL licenses but a publicly available edition has not been released to date for mainly practical reasons many of which are detailed in our WebVista FAQ here:

http://www.clear-health.com/content/view/43/52/

We look forward to making the 3.0 community edition a more powerful, flexible and easy to contribute version with your help.

Thanks very much and if you would like to contact us with any questions feel free to do so in the forum of on our website at:

Hello All,

This is more for information than anything. I am running using MAMP on Mac OS X and ran into some issues with the install. I got around it by just loading the data model separately and changing the config.php as described elsewhere.

What I noticed though as I started to play around with 2.3 is that my path for the mysql executable was in the wrong place. It assumes it is in usr/bin which in my case it is not. (It also may not be with Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.) So I created a symbolic link using ln -s and presto the condition 127 disappeared.


Just an FYI for anyone else who runs across this.

jay.walker  is currently offline jay.walker
Messages: 961

Dear ClearHealth Users,

This email is to alert you to an immediate and critical security issue regarding the use of WiFi wireless systems secured using WPA and WPA2 encryption schemes when accessing your ClearHealth installation.

It has been reported and confirmed that using relatively new techniques the encryption of WiFi connections relying on security features known as WPA and WPA2 can be completely compromised. No compromises have yet been confirmed outside of the the security research community, however these techniques evolve very quickly and to remain secure we recommend that you take immediate action. Please ensure that all access to your ClearHealth installation via WiFi networks occurs over HTTPS.

This issue is of particular concern to installations who frequently use the iPhone, Mobility Tablets, Blackberries and other mobile devices with WiFi as in some cases those devices default to using HTTP rather than HTTPS.

Our existing security guidelines recommend that all accesses to your ClearHealth installation occur over secure HTTP access or HTTPS. HTTPS will appear before the address you use to access ClearHealth in your browser, displaying as "https://clearhealth.customer.com" rather than "http://clearhealth.customer.com". If you are using HTTPS you are still secure and the security issues with WiFi do not affect your ClearHealth installation.

Note that the security issues with WiFi may still affect other netowrk data services you use. As a result we recommend that you change your ClearHealth user password to be distinct from other systems you use.

If you are currently using HTTP to access your ClearHealth installation please contact us via your support account representative or feel free to post your questions on this forum about how to configure HTTPS only access. Please provide details about your distribution and software versions.

Thank You.

This API permits searching of all nationally recognized clinical trials by a variety of search parameters. Additionally they have been cross-indexed against SNOMED codes with respect to each trials inclusion and exclusion criteria.

We are really interested in how this API can be expanded. For example with geocoding, NDC cross indexing, etc.

I wanted to know how I could generate a database of fake medical health records for fictitious patients.

The CHMED database was updated to include the RXNORM standard for describing drug/package combinations. As a point of convenience a hipaa formatted version of the NDC code is also provided.

Both updates are available in the drug details call as hipaa_ndc and rxnorm.

The VA class for drugs was added to CHMED. This currently covers about 25% of NDC's but we should be able to expand it more in the future by using inference techniques and molecular structure information from the SPL's.

We should have class to class drug interactions added by next week.

Interactions data from the Veterans Administration VistA National Drug File have been added to CHMED. These display as part of the BaseMed24Detail call return XML and the matching AJAX call.

The VA interactions only identify significant and critical interactions, that level is displayed.

We would love to have feedback on the structure of the return values. Currently they are typed as "va_interaction", we intend to add additional interactions using FDA data soon, that will be typed "fda_label_interaction".

A good example is: ALPRAZOLAM

A functioning example is our CHMED browser demo available:
http://www.clear-health.com/content/view/33/46/

An additional flag was added to indicated whether the drug has an xml label, this is "has_xml_label" with a value of true or false.

The following call was added to the CHMED api:

https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/CHMED/BaseMe d24Label?apiKey=[YOUR API KEY]&pkey=1

This call returns the following which is the FDA product label for the drug referenced by pkey (use the other API's to lookup the pkey, do not persist the pkey as it changes). Note that not all drugs have a current XML label, older drugs have only PDF labels which we should be able to connect up in the next couple weeks with the documents API calls. Fail returns a failure message and status code 400.

<text><paragraph>After oral administration, cycloserine is
readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with peak blood levels occurring
in 4&#xA0;to 8&#xA0;hours. Blood levels of 25&#xA0;to
30&#xA0;&#x3BC;g/mL can generally be maintained with the usual dosage
of 250&#xA0;mg twice a day, although the relationship of plasma
levels to dosage is not always consistent. Concentrations in the cerebrospinal
fluid, pleural fluid, fetal blood, and mother&#x2019;s milk approach those
found in the serum. Detectable amounts are found in ascitic fluid, bile, sputum,
amniotic fluid, and lung and lymph tissues. Approximately 65%&#xA0;of
a single dose of cycloserine can
be recovered in the urine within 72&#xA0;hours after oral administration.
The remaining 35%&#xA0;is apparently metabolized to unknown substances.
The maximum excretion rate occurs 2&#xA0;to 6&#xA0;hours
after administration, with 50%&#xA0;of the drug eliminated in
12&#xA0;hours.</paragraph></text>

<title mediaType="text/x-hl7-title+xml">INDICATIONS AND USAGE</title>
<text><paragraph>Seromycin is
indicated in the treatment of active pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis
(including renal disease) when the causative organisms are susceptible to
this drug and when treatment with the primary medications (streptomycin, isoniazid,
rifampin, and ethambutol) has proved inadequate. Like all antituberculosis
drugs, Seromycin should
be administered in conjunction with other effective chemotherapy and not as
the sole therapeutic agent.</paragraph><paragraph>Seromycin may
be effective in the treatment of acute urinary tract infections caused by
susceptible strains of gram&#x2013;positive and gram&#x2013;negative bacteria,
especially <content styleCode="italics">Enterobacter</content>&#xA0;spp.
and <content styleCode="italics">Escherichia
coli</content>. It is generally no more and is usually less effective than
other antimicrobial agents in the treatment of urinary tract infections caused
by bacteria other than mycobacteria. Use of Seromycin in
these infections should be considered only when more conventional therapy
has failed and when the organism has been demonstrated to be susceptible to
the drug.</paragraph></text>

may develop toxicity if the dosing regimen is not modified. Patients with
severe renal impairment should not receive the drug. The central nervous system
is the most common organ system involved with toxicity. Toxic effects may
include headache, vertigo, confusion, drowsiness, hyperirritability, paresthesias,
dysarthria, and psychosis. Following larger ingestions, paresis, convulsions,

We are happy to announce that the HealthCloud API public beta is now available. This API offers a updated information about all medications reviewed by the FDA and the specific details about their ingredients, packaging and delivery necessary for tracking medications in an EMR context as well as supporting standards compliant e-prescribing operations.

Included below is a brief introduction to the HealthCloud API system. You can sign up for a free HealthCloud API key by visiting: https://openid.clear-health.com

Getting Started
The HealthCloud API system offers 2 primary means of accessing a host of medically related databases using standards compliant REST and AJAX/JSON based web services queries.

What is REST?

REST is the simplest mechanism amongst web services standards and is very similar to how you browse the web with your web browser. It operates primary on GET and POST argument passed to specialized URLs. In some cases XML data may be included in the body of an HTTP request and response to provide a mechanism for moving large amounts of information to and from the server.

For more information about REST please visit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST

How can I access the REST API's?

Once you have you API Key you can reference the API's using a web browser to explore how they are constructed. You must also approve the license before accessing data so we will use that as an example.

The API calls are constucted using the base url:

https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php

All REST API call use this URL.

Accessing that URL alone will result in an XML response:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<healthcloud>
<error>
<errorCode>400</errorCode>
<errorName>Request Failed</errorName>
<errorMsg>Your request does not have any library or function parameters and cannot be completed.</errorMsg></error></healthcloud>


This is a standardized error response. All HC API responses will be wrapped in a "<healthcloud></healthcloud>" tag. This is used as many XML implementations automatically hide the outermost wrapper.

The next tag is the "<error></error>" tag, if this is present it means that a fatal error occurred which prevented the request from being completed as requested. The "<errorCode></errorCode>" tag contains a standard HTTP response code which will also be reference in the HTTP headers in the response. 400 is the HTTP status for "bad request" and means that the request is improper and should not be repeated without changes, you can see a list of HTTP status codes here:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Followed by that is the errorname and message which are provided for your reference, they attempt to be as specific as possible about the specific problem or missing data for the request. Errorname is fairly consistent and categorizes most error into a few top level categories so you can handles errors as exceptions easily. The error message will change based on the scenario and possibly the data supplied so it should not be used for string matching.

All HC API calls must include a POST or GET argument containing your API key. An example:

https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]


That request yields this response:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<healthcloud>
<error>
<errorCode>400</errorCode>
<errorName>Request Failed</errorName>
<errorMsg>Your request does not have any library or function parameters and cannot be completed.</errorMsg>
</error></healthcloud>



This error indicated that no library and function was requested. Each HC API call must also include a path to a specific library and function. These take the form of directories in the URL as in the following License Library Retrieve function example:

https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/License/Retrieve?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]


Using that call you should receive a large response containing the license agreement for using HealthCloud data API's:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<healthcloud>
<data>
<license>LICENSE...[condensed for readability]</license>
</data>
</healthcloud>


This is your first successful request and will have an http status code of "200" as an http header. Notice th at instead of an "<error></error>" tag you receive a "<data></data>" tag, this is the wrapper for semantic xml specific to the requested resource. Functions that respond with a single value have a standardized response structure as in the following example.

Once you have retrieved the license you must call the API to indicated your acceptance of it. You cannot use the data API's until you have accepted the license.

That URL is:

https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/License/Retrieve?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]


The License acceptance function also takes a require signature argument. This is a digital signature recognizing your acceptance, you can use whatever string you prefer but generally this is your name surrounded by forward slashes such as:

/jay walker/


So the actual URL we use is:

[url=https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/License/Accept?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]&signature=/jay walker/


That request produces this response:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<healthcloud>
<data>
<return>true</return>
</data>
</healthcloud>


This is a standardized single value response, the return value is always contained within a "<return></return>" tag and will contain a basic language construct such as a boolean (using the 'true' and 'false' constants), int, or string. It is not currently supported to have a return tag with an array value, for that the "<data></data>" wrapper will be used.

It is that simple, you can easily explore API's using your web browser and implementing them using any language with basic HTTP handling tools. We will be providing examples in Python, PHP, Ruby, and Java as soon as we have the resources to do so and pending feedback from you.

The CHMED API

The CHMED API currently implements 2 calls, these are:

[url=https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/CHMED/BaseMed24?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]&tradename=[MEDICATION TRADENAME]&limit=[OPTIONAL RESPONSE ROW LIMIT]


AND

https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/CHMED/BaseMed24Detail?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]&=[MEDICATION TRADENAME]


The BaseMed24 function retrieves an array of data about medications matching the supplied tradename argument. This argument can either be the fullname or can contain '%' characters which act as wildcards. Be careful with wildcards as they will effect the performance of your call.


Response for this call:

https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/CHMED/BaseMed24?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]&tradename=diflucan


<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<healthcloud>
<data>

<dose>TABLET, COATED</dose>
<route>ORAL</route>
<firm_name>DIRECT PHARMACEUTICALS INC</firm_name>
</medication>
</data>
</healthcloud>



The BaseMed24Detail takes a pkey argument (from the BaseMed24 medication response) and provides the detailed record for that medication. Currently this is the same information available in the BaseMed24 result set but will continue to be updated and expanded to support as much information as possible including the fda label, links to interactions, and links to clinical trials.

Response for this call (86969 is pkey from above):
https://openid.clear-health.com/hcapi/index.php/CHMED/BaseMed24Detail?apiKey=[YOUR HC API KEY]&pkey=86969


<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<healthcloud>
<data>

<firm_name>DIRECT PHARMACEUTICALS INC</firm_name>
</medication>
</data>
</healthcloud>



Using AJAX:

The CHMED API is also implemented as AJAX API's for use in easily constructing medication related web applications, we expect to be able to enabled e-prescribing directly through this CHMED REST and AJAX API's soon.

A fully working example using this API in PHP is included as the chmed_example.zip file attached to this post. Be sure to edit the server.php to include your HC API KEY.

Note that the AJAX API requires the use of an AJAX proxy which is a solution to browser security constraints regarding cross site scripting (XSS) protection. See the server.php file for details.


Please provide your feedback. If you have any questions about the API's, this document, feature requests, new datasets or links between data or the examples please post to this forum. We are eager to continue to improve the system to meet user requirements.

Thanks.

Dana Blankenhorn over at ZDNet Healthcare was kind enough to interview myself and one of our customers regarding our iPhone release. You can read the story here:

We need to get the source repo updated so people can get access, that should happen later in the week. Otherwise all you need to do is connect to the AppTapp repo for the latest binary via:

Great presentation - liked the future direction.
I loved the RSS feature and the PDF forms (even though I am trying to stay away from paper it is still needed at times)
I had a question on the RSS feeds - what about security, RSS (at least from what I know) does not have security built in - do you need to be logged in to CH to receive the feeds?
If so, can we make a long shared key based URL (like Google calendar has done for its iCal integration with Outlook) to get past logging in?

Talking about iCal - is it possible to get the current calendar in an iCal interface just like Google Calendar lets you? It would be a similar interface and provide restricted information for people to see in Outlook?
This would be a great extension to the whole mobility theme planned with RSS.

If using a browser then the inherent cookie checks will be used. With 2.2 HTTP basic authentication is also supported so for readers than can use that, which is most of them, it can be addressed that way.

Obviously you will want to apply all the normal security processes when using mobile devices, HTTPS, etc.

It is pretty trivial to create a report and template that generates iCal output, in fact I think their are many folks already doing that. I think the problem comes up with regard with how to manage changes to the schedule, I think for example firefox can work with a live URL whereas some other tools will just take it as a snapshot.

The next ClearHealth Community Call will take place March 6th at 12:00pm pacific time. The primary topic of the call will be a close up look at the new features in version 2.2 including:

1) PDF Forms/Report features and brief tutorial
2) Brief Introduction to ClearHealth API Services BETA
3) Graphing features
4) Using alert reports and RSS

There will also be a few minutes for general questions and comments.

Special thanks to the folks at DimDim, the open source web meeting platform. They have courteously allowed us to try out their beta for our call which includes support for Linux/OSX firefox users which the Webex we have been using does not.

The link to see the shared desktop is (you must have a recent version of Flash installed, version 9+. For Linux/OSX you must have firefox installed):

http://webmeeting.dimdim.com:80/portal/GetJoinConferenceForm .action?confKey=duhlman@clear-health.com&email=info@clea r-health.com&asPresenter=false&meetingId=55409520-36 da-102b-9e72-0030489444da

The desktop will be available for 10 minutes prior to the official start for folks to test.

The call in number is: (641) 715-3200 then 621076#

Thanks and hope to have you there. We expect to be doing these a lot more regularly now.

In the default database the following line appears.

(60, 'billing_mode', 'Billing Mode', 'Mappedvalue'),

The actual EnumType is MappedValue with a capital V.
This makes it impossible to modify the billing_mode enumeration, since it tries to find the EnumType of the wrong class.

Generally, it reveals a larger flaw in the enumeration system. The EnumTypes should not be text field, but a select box based on the actual available enumeration types. Otherwise user created enumerations are likely to crash the interface.

I wanted to make this a separate thread to see if we could make it easier for upgrades - we keep source code in version control, but DB schema is really not in any control.
I propose keeping a (text) file that include SQL DDL statements like ALTER and CREATE statements and DML statements that include any addition to required standard values such as enums etc that are changed or added with each progressive version.

This would be make upgrades predictable and less prone to errors and keep a good history of what changed for roll forward and roll back situations.

This is very important for serious usage of CH in production environment.

Any other mechanism to achieve the same result is appreciated.

Reverse engineering like mysqldiff may work OK for DDL but for DML, trying to go through megabytes of data is impossible especially if you cant separate data that changes as part of your regular usage vs data that is fixed.
It would also be helpful to get a list of tables that have fixed data in them, so any additions to those can be figured in at the time of upgrade.

Hope this made sense.

The California Healthcare Foundation performed a research project into the feasibility of Open Source healthcare software last year. ClearHealth was interviewed extensively. You can read a very in-depth assessment of open source EHR systems by CHCF with an extremely positive analysis of ClearHealth at:

It does not appear that our submitted corrections are present:

ClearHealth does support SNOMED, LOINC, CCR, you CAN print labs.
