Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Healthcare CDSS Development Patterns Patterns for building Clinical Decision Support Systems that integrate into EMR workflows. CDSS modules are patient safety critical — zero tolerance for false negatives. ## When to Use - Implementing drug interaction checking - Building dose validation engines - Implementing clinical scoring systems (NEWS2, qSOFA, APACHE, GCS) - Designing alert systems for abnormal clinical values - Building medication order entry with safety checks - Integrating lab result interpretation with clinical context ## How It Works The CDSS engine is a **pure function library with zero side effects**. Input clinical data, output alerts. This makes it fully testable. Three primary modules: 1. **`checkInteractions(newDrug, currentMeds, allergies)`** — Checks a new drug against current medications and known allergies. Returns severity-sorted `InteractionAlert[]`. Uses `DrugInteractionPair` data model. 2. **`validateDose(drug, dose, route, weight, age, renalFunction)`** — Validates a prescribed dose against weight-based, age-adjusted, and renal-adjusted rules. Returns `DoseValidationResult`. 3. **`calculateNEWS2(vitals)`** — National Early Warning Score 2 from `NEWS2Inp

What does the healthcare-cdss-patterns skill do?
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) development patterns. Drug interaction checking, dose validation, clinical scoring (NEWS2, qSOFA), alert severity classification, and integration into EMR workflows.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill healthcare-cdss-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
