201601 CDS Enablement Services

Return to Jan 2016 Proposals

CDS Enablement Services

If creating a client, this track should require minimal work in advance of the connectathon, though at least a bit of preparation/reading on FHIR is recommended. If creating a server, advanced preparation will be required, but this scenario should somewhat limit the effort involved.

Pre-requisites: none

Submitting WG/Project/Implementer Group

Clinical Decision Support (CDS) with support from Service-oriented Architecture (SOA)

Justification

In order to provide effective and timely clinical decision support, a number of enabling infrastructure capabilities are necessary.
