Assessment criteria

After submitting your CDS model, the jury will start assessing your submission. The criteria that the jury will assess are presented below. The maximum amount of points is 12.

Criteria nameCriteria descriptionMaximum amount of points
Clinical relevanceYour CDS application shall be based on international, European or Swedish national/regional clinical practice guidelines.1 point (where 0.5 points are given for European and Swedish national/regional guidelines and an additional 0.5 for international guidelines)
Clinical impactClinical impact determines how the algorithms will impact how much of a population.1 point
Quality on clinical models descriptionWhen creating your clinical models, you need to add meta-data as described in the tutorials. Clarity and correctness of the meta-data is important when creating a CDS application.1 point
LanguageEnglish and Swedish are a prerequisite. However, we encourage additional languages. Additional languages can give up to an extra half point.1.5 points (correct English and Swedish gives 1 point and additional languages can give up to 0.5 points)
Quality on clinical modelling of the CDS applicationModels must adhere to standards such as openEHR archetypes or HL7 FHIR, and may incorporate relevant terminologies. They must have a clear, well-organized structure and logical flow to ensure they are easily understood.

Additionally, we encourage reuse of existing archetypes and guidelines as the building blocks of your CDS application.

2 points (where 0.5 of these points are for good reusability of existing archetypes and another 0.5 for good reusability of existing guidelines).
UX design of the CDS applicationYour application has a good, unique and intuitive UX design. Furthermore more complex and responsive UX can give more points. 1.5 points (where 0.5 are for a good UX design and up to 1 additional point for more complex and responsive UX)
Correctness of CDS application logicYour CDS application and models shall perform calculations and other logic correctly.2 points (1 point for GDL2 guidelines logic and 1 point for Form logic)
Test coverage of the guideline logicIn the Guideline Editor, there is one tab for creating tests for your guideline. We require at least 3 test cases. (See tutorials for more information).1 point
Complexity of the CDS applicationCDS applications vary in their complexity, a CDS application with a higher complexity level will be provided with more points.1 point
