Overview

The Documentation Templates and Rules (DTR) Questionnaire APIs enable the ability to tell a provider/EHR exactly what clinical documentation is required in the computable form during prior authorization or coverage workflows.

Questionnaire operations are mechanism to express documentation requirements computably in a way that allows clinicians and other EHR users to navigate and quickly specify the needed information in a context-specific way. For more information, please refer to Da Vinci Documentation Templates and Rules (DTR) implementation guide.
