CDSS EHR Integration Best Practices: A Technical Guide for Engineering Teams
Clinical AI projects usually fail during integration, not development. They work well in controlled environments, but production workflows expose problems. CDS Hooks and FHIR payloads can be inconsistent and incomplete. Engineering teams face a challenge: embedding clinical decision support into existing EHR workflows without disrupting care. The problem is not just about APIs. Teams must manage many things, including CDS Hooks, authentication, and latency constraints.
