Topic: Registering Hook Service with FHIR
Sanjay Chadha (Oct 25 2017 at 21:35):
How does a CDS Hooks Service provide,. register their URL as a CDS-Hook service provider to the FHiR server?
i.e. "Developers of CDS Services must provide a well-known endpoint allowing the EHR to discover all available CDS Services".
How?
Discovery of CDS- Service (http://cds-hooks.org/#discovery)
Developers of CDS Services must provide a well-known endpoint allowing the EHR to discover all available CDS Services, including information such as the purpose of the CDS Service, when it should be invoked, and any data that is requested to be prefetched.
HTTP Request
The discovery endpoint is always available at {baseUrl}/cds-services. For example, if the baseUrl is https://example.com, the EHR would invoke:
GET https://example.com/cds-services

I'm not sure I understand if this is a question, it looks like you've answered it already?

Hi Sanjay,
Christopher Schuler (Oct 25 2017 at 22:10):
There are a couple of ways to do this...
Christopher Schuler (Oct 25 2017 at 22:11):
It can be handled with a POST to the discovery endpoint with the new hook.
Christopher Schuler (Oct 25 2017 at 22:13):
Also, you could use naming conventions so that the services do not need to be registered with discovery. I do this, although it may not work for your implementation.
Christopher Schuler (Oct 25 2017 at 22:13):
I can explain more if interested.

Hello Christopher,
"It can be handled with a POST to the discovery endpoint with the new hook." - I could not find how. I am looking for how to do this. See myquery with more clarity and with an hypothetical example:
There are two servers
1) FHIR fhir.ourserver.org.
2) CDS Hook server- otherserver.org/cds-services and fhir
How do we tell server 1 - fhir.ourserver.org to go look for hook services at server 2: otherserver.org/cds-services?
i.e. how do we tell FHIR the existence of a specific hook server?

@Sanjay Chadha - Can you move this discussion to the cds-hooks stream? That is where are all of our CDS Hooks community discusses CDS Hooks
