HL7 Version 3 Domain Analysis Model: Virtual Medical Record for Clinical Decision Support (vMR-CDS), Release 1
DESCRIPTION
A Virtual Medical Record (vMR) is a data model for representing the data that are analyzed and/or produced by clinical decision support (CDS) engines. The goal of this project is to define HL7 vMR data models capable of supporting scalable, interoperable CDS. This specification consists of a technology-neutral Domain Analysis Model (DAM) for the vMR that serves as the foundation of vMRs for specific implementation technologies.
