Abstract: Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) could play a prominent role in preventing Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) especially when integrated in larger healthcare systems (e.g. Electronic Health Record – EHR systems, Hospital Management Systems – HMS, e-Prescription systems etc.). This poster presents an approach to model Therapeutic Prescription Protocols (TPPs) via the Business Process Management Notation (BPMN), as part of the e-Prescription CDSS developed in the context of the PrescIT project.
