201601 CDS Hooks Connectathon Track Proposal

CDS Hooks

CDS Hooks is a proposal from Josh Mandel to provide open clinical decision support using both FHIR and SMART.

Submitting WG/Project/Implementer Group

The CDS Hooks proposal has broad interest and support across both vendors and developers. This group is asking for this Connectathon track.

Justification

While this track does not cover FHIR solely or a particular ballot change, 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.

Today, CDS Hooks have a relatively small visibility by the FHIR community as it is a fairly new proposal. With a track at a Connectathon, CDS Hooks would be exposed to the larger FHIR community, allowing others to see how FHIR can be used to provide clinical decision support in the EHR.
