Activity Description
Apply the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Training for Healthcare Providers on Lyme Disease using clinical decision support (CDS).

Specific examples of how the guideline could be incorporated into a CDS workflow include but are not limited to: electronic health record (EHR) based prescribing prompts, order sets that require review of guidelines before prescriptions can be entered, and prompts requiring review of guidelines before a subsequent action can be taken in the record.
