1. Implement automated, electronic clinical decision support rules (in addition to drug-drug and drug-allergy contraindication checking) according to specialty or clinical priorities that use demographic data, specific patient diagnoses, conditions, diagnostic test results and/or patient medication list.

The 5 decision support rules are not specified but it appears to be specified that the 5 include diagnostic test ordering and that there be an ability to track compliance with those rules. Templates can be associated with ordering of certain diagnostic tests that can include objects that require a response and those could be tracked as an example to satisfy this requirement for having decision support associated with the ordering of a diagnositic test.

2. Automatically and electronically generate and indicate (e.g., pop-up message or sound) in real-time, alerts and care suggestions based upon clinical decision support rules and evidence grade.

"e.g." implies the means of notification is not limited to a pop-up message or sound.

3. Automatically and electronically track, record, and generate reports on the number of alerts responded to by a user.
