A retrospective clinical decision support tool is making sure that all of those patients either got a follow-up procedure @@what's a good procedure code?@@ or a notation waving it.

DICOM in FHIR plus environmental data use case

The same corpus above is being joined with EPA data documenting releases of irritants from nearby chemical factories to see if there's a strong safety signal.
