Table 1 Strategic Objectives of Roadmap for National Action on CDS

CDS Pillar	Corresponding Strategic Objective
Best Knowledge Available when Needed	1. Represent clinical knowledge and CDS interventions in standardized formats (both human and machine-interpretable), so that a variety of knowledge developers can produce this information in a way that knowledge users can readily understand, access, and apply it.
	2. Collect, organize, and distribute clinical knowledge and CDS interventions in one or more services from which users can readily find the specific material they need and incorporate it into their own information systems and processes.
High Adoption and Effective Use	3. Address policy/legal/financial barriers and create additional support and enablers for widespread CDS adoption and deployment.
	4. Improve clinical adoption and usage of CDS interventions by helping clinical knowledge and information system producers and implementers design CDS systems that are easy to deploy and use, and by identifying and disseminating best practices for CDS deployment.
Continuous Improvement of Knowledge and CDS Methods	5. Assess and refine the national experience with CDS by systematically capturing, organizing, and examining existing deployments. Share lessons learned and use them to continually enhance implementation best practices.
	6. Advance care-guiding knowledge by fully leveraging the data available in interoperable EHRs to enhance clinical knowledge and improve health management.
