Clinical Decision Support Big Picture Implementation Guide

Description

2017 Sept: PSS with updated target dates submitted.

Clinical decision support (CDS) is increasingly viewed as a vital health information technology for supporting and maintaining good health outcomes. However, a proliferation of health information technology standards related to clinical decision support, including those that address knowledge representation and access, have increased confusion and uncertainty in the industry regarding the implementation of CDS. This implementation guide will demonstrate how standards in this space, with a focus on HL7 standards, can be brought together and used to implement an overall CDS strategy, including cases of specific kinds of CDS, e.g., alerts/reminders, order sets and the like.

Misc Notes
2024 Jan: RJenders: Intended ballot: September, 2025. Project close: January, 2026. PMO updated dates in Project Insight. This will allow us time to work on an STU additional ballot for Arden Syntax v3.0 R1 (to generate R2 under the current PSS) and the new project (Arden Syntax on FHIR IG R1) now circulating for consensus review and TSC approval, as well as time to compose the CDS Big Picture IG itself. 2023 May: RJenders: Because of limited resources available to work on this, we’ve deferred work for the time being, but there remains active interest in pursuing this, working with members of the CDS Work Group. The WG voted at its session during the Baltimore WGM in 9/2022 to extend the milestones, specifically to a proposed ballot in 1/2024 and a project end date of 5/2024. Sep 2018: RJenders provided updated target dates. Sep 2017: RJenders provided updated target dates. May 2016: RJenders provided updated target dates.
