Using CDS Hooks to increase SMART on FHIR app utilization: a cluster-randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

HL7 SMART on FHIR apps have the potential to improve healthcare delivery and EHR usability, but providers must be aware of the apps and use them for these potential benefits to be realized. The HL7 CDS Hooks standard was developed in part for this purpose.
