Exploring CDS Hooks from a User’s and a Developer’s Perspective
The CDS (Clinical Decision Support) Hooks Sandbox offers hands-on experience, simulating a clinician’s interaction within an EHR system. It also provides access to the underlying JSON, showcasing CDS Hooks invocations and service response cards in real time.
Originally developed by the CDS Hooks standards community in 2018 and 2019, the Sandbox is currently being modernized through the Implementation of Electronic Clinical Decision Support Services project. This CDC-sponsored and ASTP-CDC led project ensures the Sandbox remains cutting-edge, with key contributors including ASTP, CDC, Security Risk Solutions Inc., and Smile Digital Health.
