Confirmed meningococcal case — public health nurse retrieves CDC guidelines in-workflow
Rather than switching context to a browser, the nurse accesses the CDC Prevention Guidelines directly through RPMS's Network Communication capability. Guidelines retrieved, printed, and orders placed — without leaving the patient encounter workflow.

Clinical decision support sourced from authoritative external references, surfaced in-workflow. The pattern predates modern CDS Hooks by decades. The principle is the same: the right guidance, at the right moment, without leaving the care workflow.
