Hi Dr. Mandel, great video. I'm trying to make an application using CDS hooks that parses the written prescription instructions, but I don't believe that the CDS Hooks Sandbox supports written instructions, and I haven't been able to find an alternative sandbox that does. I contacted Epic, and they said that they only support CDS hooks testing with their Vendor Services plan, which is a little out of my college student budget range. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for other sandboxes, or perhaps a self-hosted EMR test server, where I could test order-select CDS hooks with written dosage instructions?
Epic has support for a various APIs including a substantial FHIR implementation (see fhir.epic.com). Several of those FHIR resources are also supported by Epic's CDS Hooks implementation (see "CDS Hooks" open.epic.com/Interface/FHIR#:~:text=Search%20(Episode)%20(R4)-,CDS%20Hooks,-read%20the%20spec)
@@JoshMandelMD thank you Josh. I do not develop APP. Just want to use EPIC API to automatically retrieve data for research. It looks that FHIR is used as a Standard for developing APP. For my purpose, I only need to contact EPIC and our hospital IT how to retrieve data. Is my understanding correct?
@@caiyu538 That's a very complex topic. If you are working directly with patients and they agree to donate their data for research, you could consider deploying an existing app like github.com/sync-for-science/procure-wip or github.com/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem to help with the data approval and access workflow.
@@JoshMandelMD Thank you so much. With your lectures' help, I begin to understand these concepts little by little although it is difficult for me at beginning. Thank for your excellent lectures.
CDS Hooks allows a client such as an EHR to call a CDS service through a standardized HTTP API; a service can recommend launching a specific app by returning a card with an app link.
Well Explained 👏👏
Many thanks for sharing this video!

I want to use EPIC API to extract data. I think it also follow FHIR standard. Still not well understand their relation well

Hi Josh, Nice presentation. Can I use CDS-Hooks for calling / executing an external application REST endpoints ?
