Semi-structured logic statements are comprised of three “sections” or components, each with a distinct purpose:
- Inclusion - describes target population criteria
- Exclusion - removes individuals from the target population based on evidence-based recommendations
- CDS Events - describes a decision point or trigger in the logic that leads to a recommendation or action
- CDS Actions - describes one or more “products” (e.g., calculations, recommendations) that the logic provides for a patient that meets the inclusion criteria, is not removed by the exclusion criteria, and meets the event criteria
