It is noted that as third party information and notification providers such as CDS Hooks become an accepted standard for electronic health record integration points, the user interfaces used to display and interact with the CDS Hook notifications will become increasingly important for clinician workflow. Although technical messaging standards exist to transport CDS Hook-based messages to electronic healthcare record systems, for example, methods and apparatus for displaying the information to system users in more useful and meaningful ways has yet to be developed. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for displaying third party information such as CDS Hook information that is scalable across various workspaces within an electronic heath record system, and also may be applicable to other clinical applications.

Additionally, it is noted that it currently known to provide Clinical Decision Support (CDS) information at the point of care (POC) as close to the workflow as possible without being intrusive. In some systems, this provision of information is based on suggestions in the CDS Hooks specification (e.g., draft form of v 1.0), which allows for innovation on various platforms by both internal and external parties. In particular, the present disclosure provides various user-interface mechanisms for displaying the third party information (e.g., CDS information) that mitigate the problem of provider “alert-fatigue” by allowing electronic healthcare records system to be configured to allow selection between interruptive or passive notifications based on third party parameter (e.g., CDS Hook parameters) that best match a user goal for a particular workflow.
