Abstract:
A collaboratively maintained, centralized web-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) repository could lead to improved quality and standardization of care and decrease duplication of resources. Ruby on Rails (RoR) is an open source web application framework that enables rapid iterative development of database backed applications. We have created a prototype form building application in RoR that has the potential to create and maintain such a CDSS repository. Further study and refinement are required.
