Capability	Description
Learning health system	Continuous integration of user input, clinical data, and organizational knowledge into CDS
Interorganizational benchmarking and sharing	Ability to compare CDS metrics to different organizations—both for specific processes (e.g., sepsis order set usage) and for system-wide metrics (e.g., alert burden)
Proactive opportunity discovery	Automated identification of potential applications for CDS based on variation in care as well as cross-department and/or cross-institution benchmarking
