CST Question

Q: What is Zynx?

A: Zynx is an online collaboration tool that allows multiple contributors to develop and review content virtually. We are using it to develop order sets for CST. Zynx stores evidence-based content for the development of order sets, and provides areas for building and distributing draft order sets to colleagues for review.
