CDS Hooks
summary
CDS Hooks defines a hook-based HTTP API that invokes remote decision services, passes FHIR context or prefetch FHIR queries, and returns rendered JSON “cards” for EHRs to display. The standard treats services as black boxes (rules engines, AI, etc.), supports discovery via a registry and a public sandbox at sandbox.cdshooks.org, and is adding override reasons and feedback endpoint in 1.1 so services can learn clinician responses. Ordering hooks are under HL7 validation, vendors show connectathon adoption, and performance and data-versioning remain practical integration concerns.
