201901 CDS Hooks

Return to January 2019 Proposals

CDS Hooks

Submitting WG/Project/Implementer Group

The CDS Hooks community, composed of vendors, developers, and CDS service providers whom support the CDS Hooks project.

Justification

CDS Hooks allow for a very important use of both FHIR and SMART that is outside of the normal transactional flow of data. With CDS Hooks, EHRs can further integrate FHIR and SMART into the workflow with clinical decision support. Over the previous Connectathon tracks, the CDS Hooks project has garnered immense support and interest from a variety of organizations. The CDS Hooks track is now consistently the most attended track at each Connectathon.

Organizing a CDS Hooks track at the January 2019 Connectathon would allow the community to further develop and explore the possibilities with CDS Hooks. Holding another Connectathon track for CDS Hooks will further draw more developers and companies to HL7 and allow the community to work within the FHIR ecosystem. Additionally, the CDS Hooks community has found great benefit from participating in the Connectathons so continuing that participation would be appreciated.
