HL7 Implementation Guide: Decision Support Service, Release 1

DESCRIPTION

A Decision Support Service takes in patient data as the input and provides back patient-specific assessments and recommendations.  A Decision Support Service (DSS) facilitates the implementation of clinical decision support capabilities in a scalable manner. This implementation guide defines a DSS implementation approach that combines the HL7 DSS Release 2 standard with the HL7 Virtual Medical Record for Clinical Decision Support (vMR-CDS) information model standard to enable the provision of standards-based, interoperable decision support services.
