Technical Challenges and Opportunities when Implementing Pharmacogenomics Decision Support Integrated in the Electronic Health Record

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2017:245:1255.

Abstract

Clinical use of pharmacogenomic (PGx) knowledge at the bedside is new and complex. Our program has implemented multiple PGx-CDS interventions in different clinical settings and in multiple commercial EHRs. Herein, we discuss lessons learned and propose general technical guidelines related to PGx implementation.

Keywords: clinical decision support systems; electronic health records; pharmacogenetics.
