The main deliverables of the CDS Consortium include:


Tangible, actionable artifacts such as the shareable, human readable, and computable forms of clinical practice guidelines we develop, as well as software and demonstration systems, each of which we will make publicly available.


Detailed guidance and recommendations, based on what we learn from our efforts, for external parties such as the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) and the Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP)


A set of knowledge management best practices, such as methods for knowledge management, representation, implementation, and performance assessment, and managing decision-support related organizational change. We will share this knowledge through a variety of channels, such as presentations, academic papers and reports, and content posted through AHRQ’s National Resource Center for Health Information Technology.


Governance Model: we will elaborate a collaborative governance model for managing knowledge assets used in CDS across disparate systems and settings, and share our experiences.
