Abstract
There are many medical knowledge bases with potential for supporting medical professionals in their decision-making during routine care, yet usage of these sources remains low. Standardized linking of Clinical Decision Support (CDS) applications and existing medical knowledge bases is not a common practice. Using existing eHealth standards to increase the utilization of knowledge bases and implement a prototype. Linking an existing online knowledge base via a FHIR CodeSystem supplement to the Austrian national EHR (ELGA) terminology server and accessing these data using CDS Hooks and FHIR. We tested the approach by incorporating photosensitivity data of medications into a local copy of the Austrian terminology server. These data are directly used by a CDS Hooks compliant CDS service. The Austrian Terminology Server could be an important interface to access existing knowledge bases from within EHR systems. FHIR and CDS Hooks could lead the way for a simple and open integration of CDS services into EHR systems.
