Clinical Decisions
Request

Clinical Decisions

This data model communicates real-time, immediate clinical decision support (CDS). Providers rely on the Request event type while vendors respond with the Response event type to complete the CDS workflow.

A clinical decision is useful when a provider wants to recommend alternative medications/procedures or identify drug interactions before placing an order.

This data model has event types that allow you to:

  • request information from a third-party app offering CDS data; and
  • return clinical insights, observations, and recommendations.

Request

Initiate the CDS workflow by providing the required information to the third-party vendor offering clinical insights.

This event type contains the general format to provide CDS data, but it varies depending on use case and the EHR system's alert setup.

For example, an alternative medications alert might be configured to fire when a provider attempts to sign an order, or an alert regarding a possible chronic condition might fire based on a patient's vitals history when a new set is documented.
