MICROMEDEX, a part of The Thomson Corporation, has introduced a service providing Arden Syntax Medical Logic Modules (MLMs) on a subscription basis. The goal of this subscription service is to provide advanced clinical decision support to healthcare providers. Arden Syntax is the only standard format approved for representing clinical knowledge by Health Level Seven (HL7) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The choice of the Arden Syntax format has positioned MICROMEDEX to provide electronic medical records users with advanced clinical decision support in a portable, sharable format.
