Implementing CDS Hooks Communication in an Arden-Syntax-Based Clinical Decision Support Platform.

Introduction: Arden Syntax is a Health Level Seven International standard for the development of clinical decision support (CDS) solutions. CDS Hooks is a specification for an interface to call CDS services from an electronic health record. Implementing the CDS Hooks interface into ArdenSuite, an Arden-Syntax-based CDS platform, will further enhance its interoperability with external systems.

Achieving Interoperability Between Arden-Syntax-Based Clinical Decision Support and openEHR-Based Data Systems.

Background: Arden Syntax is an international standard for medical knowledge representation and processing. The openEHR Foundation publishes specifications for the creation of electronic health records based on interoperable data models.

Objectives: To perform a feasibility study showing how Arden Syntax medical logic modules (MLMs) can access openEHR data.
