Hi, there's no CDS Hooks model for enriching FHIR resources, is there? For example, suppose an app allows a Practitioner to create a MedicationRequest proposal for a patient; the CDS service could do dosage calculations for the patient and return a MedicationRequest plan with details filled out (which the Practitioner could then choose to turn into an order, or not). In the Card model, that's not possible, correct? Also, out of curiosity, why aren't Cards FHIR Resources?

Hi Elon. CDS Hooks uses FHIR data but is not part of FHIR nor is the technical underpinnings of CDS Hooks FHIR. This answers why cards (or any data structure defined by CDS Hooks) is not a FHIR type.

With your example of a dose calculator, I suppose you could write a CDS Service that returns back suggestion(s) with the modified MedicationRequest
