On April 28th, 2025, CDS Connect and cds.ahrq.gov will go offline while the CDS program realigns with new federal and agency polices. The creation of new CDS Connect Accounts has been suspended. Please visit digital.ahrq.gov for updates. For any other questions, please contact the clinical decision support team at clinicaldecisionsupport@ahrq.hhs.gov.
The CDS Connect Repository supports AHRQ’s mission to disseminate and implement patient-centered outcomes research findings into clinical practice through clinical decision support (CDS). Entries in this repository include freely accessible CDS "artifacts" – actionable medical knowledge distilled from various evidence sources (e.g., clinical practice guidelines, peer-reviewed articles, local best practices, and clinical quality measures) and translated into computable and interoperable decision support.
To explore these publicly available CDS artifacts, search below. If you are interested in drafting your own CDS artifact using the CDS Authoring Tool or contributing to the Repository, visit the sign-up page to register for the appropriate account for free.
