Actor: CPGService CPG ServiceType: system

A CPG Service obtains the knowledge artifacts of a computable guideline, typically from a CPG Knowledge Repository, and evaluates them in the context of a particular patient, encounter, or population. Depending on the level of enablement it supports, it may return contextualized narrative, patient summaries, recommendations and proposals (for example, using PlanDefinition/$apply), questionnaires for missing data, or care plans and metrics.

A CPG Service always works with a CPG Client. The specific interactions depend on the level of enablement, as described on the Actors page.
