19. ©2010, Kensaku Kawamoto HL7/OMG Decision Support Service standard  Specifies standard service interface for CDS services  Part of larger HL7-OMG Healthcare Services Specification Project (Kawamoto, JAMIA, 2009)  Effort led by presenter since 2005; based largely on SEBASTIAN service interface  Adopted as HL7 draft standard in 2006  Adopted as OMG draft standard in 2009; normative status expected December 2010  Available from http://hssp-dss.wikispaces.com

20. ©2010, Kensaku Kawamoto HL7 Virtual Medical Record Standard  Problem addressed For scalable CDS and knowledge sharing, need standard information models for CDS inputs (e.g., patient data) and CDS outputs (e.g., recommended orders)  Provides: Standard “payloads” for CDS services Standard computational model for knowledge authoring  Status Initial ballot May 2010; active ongoing work  Wiki http://wiki.hl7. org/index.php?title=Virtual_Medical_ Record_(vMR)  Problem addressed For scalable CDS and knowledge sharing, need standard information models for CDS inputs (e.g., patient data) and CDS outputs (e.g., recommended orders)  Provides: Standard “payloads” for CDS services Standard computational model for knowledge authoring  Status Initial ballot May 2010; active ongoing work  Wiki http://wiki.hl7. org/index.php?title=Virtual_Medical_ Record_(vMR)

30. ©2010, Kensaku Kawamoto Key Benefits and Challenges  Detailed analysis available from: Kawamoto et al. System-agnostic CDS services: benefits and challenges. Open Medical Informatics Journal, 2010 [in press].  Key benefits: Facilitates centralized knowledge management and knowledge sharing Enables agile CDS system development through loose coupling with other software components and services Facilitates implementation of CDS across applications and care settings

31. ©2010, Kensaku Kawamoto Key Challenges and Potential Solutions ChallengePotential solutions Increased effort required to develop and support knowledge resources for use in multiple contexts  Balance generalizability with resource realities  Spread knowledge development cost over multiple deployment settings  Bottom line assessment: benefits >> challenges Need for service interface to be standardized  Facilitate widespread use of HL7/OMG DSS standard and emerging HL7 vMR standard (e.g., via OpenCDS)
