CDS Connect

Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Connect is a freely available web-based platform, including an authoring tool and a repository, enabling the CDS community to identify evidence-based care, translate and codify information into an interoperable health information technology standard, and leverage tooling to promote a collaborative model of CDS development.

*Note: On April 28th, 2025, AHRQ’s CDS Connect went offline. An updated, likely final version of its authoring tool has been developed by the HL7® community as CDS Connect Community Edition. A newer set of tools, the open source CQL Studio, is an integrated web application suite for developing, testing, and publication of CQL- and FHIR-based artifacts that can be developed into computable guidelines, CDS, or dQMs, providing a functional superset of capabilities.
