CDS Hooks
CDS Hooks is an HL7 specification for real-time clinical decision support delivered through a workflow-triggered API. As a clinician works in an EHR, defined hooks (patient-view, order-select, order-sign, appointment-book) fire a request to an external CDS service, which returns ‘cards’ — suggestions, warnings, links, or SMART app launches — rendered inline in the workflow. It lets decision logic live outside the EHR yet appear at the moment of care.
Also known as Clinical Decision Support Hooks.
Providers that carry CDS Hooks 2
These providers' own APIs.json profiles carry CDS Hooks as a tag — the provider's statement that the standard is part of what it does. APIs.io has not verified the implementation on this page; the de facto profiles on this site are where that measurement exists. Ordered by Kin Score.
