Remote Decision Support with CDS Hooks
summary
CDS Hooks defines a vendor‑agnostic remote decision service that EHRs invoke on events like patient view hook or medication prescribed; services return machine‑readable JSON cards (multiple cards, actions, smart app links) and may request prefetch FHIR data or call the FHIR server directly. Security requires TLS and signed JWTs asserting caller identity and tenant, a discovery endpoint lists services by base URL, a browser sandbox exists for testing, and several EHR prototypes validate the flow as it moves toward a 1.0 specification.
