Re: Decision Support Providers
Many thanks Rong, The approach you outline which reuses archetypes and templates from EHR models resonates as a logical way to tackle this. John Halamka mentions in his blog... "Thus, Anvita has defined clinical decision support (CDS) standards to transmit decision support recommendations from the service provider back to the EHR. I am unaware any widely implemented standards that do this today. " Can you comment on his quote/article? Also can you say some more about the rules element of your work..
