RETROACTIVE EXTRACTION OF CLINICALLY RELEVANT INFORMATION FROM PATIENT SEQUENCING DATA FOR CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
摘要
A catalog (34) of molecular marker tests specifies molecular marker tests annotated with clinical applicability annotations. An electronic patient medical record (22) stores genetic sequencing data (20) of a patient. A clinical decision support (CDS) system (30) is configured to track the clinical context of the patient wherein the clinical context includes at least a disease diagnosis and a current patient care stage. A catalog search module (32) is configured to search the catalog of molecular marker tests to identify a molecular marker test having clinical applicability to the patient in the clinical context tracked by the CDS system. The search is automatically triggered by occurrence of a trigger event defined by a set of triggering rules. A testing module (44) is configured to perform a molecular marker test identified by the identification module in silico using the genetic sequencing data of the patient stored in the electronic patient medical record.
