HL7 Version 3 Standard: Decision Support Service Release 2

DESCRIPTION

A Decision Support Service takes in patient data as the input and provides back patient-specific assessments and recommendations.  A Decision Support Service facilitates the implementation of clinical decision support capabilities in a scalable manner.  The service payloads used by a Decision Support Service (e.g., Consolidated CDA or Virtual Medical Record representations of patient data) are defined through other projects within HL7.

 

This specification is an update to the Decision Support Service Release 1 standard.  Compared to Release 1 of the standard, the main update is the addition of a Representational State Transfer (REST) Web service interface to the existing SOAP Web service interface.
