Method, apparatus and computer program product for providing evidence-based clinical decision support that is workflow environment independent

An apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• provide evidence-based decision support content defining a set of rules for patient care, the evidence-based decision support content being provided independent of a predefined workflow;
• provide a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable native application access to the evidence-based decision support content;
• and
• provide an integrator that executes instructions to utilize the set of APIs to enable building a user interface for workflow that allows access to the evidence-based decision support content.

A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions for:

• providing evidence-based decision support content defining a set of rules for patient care, the evidence-based decision support content being provided independent of a predefined workflow;
• providing a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable native application access to the evidence-based decision support content;
• and
• providing an integrator that executes instructions to utilize the set of APIs to enable building a user interface for workflow that allows access to the evidence-based decision support content.
