Retrospective extraction of clinically relevant information from the patient sequencing data for clinical decision support

摘要

The molecular marker test catalog (34) specifies molecular marker tests annotated with clinical applicability. The electronic patient medical record (22) stores patient gene sequencing data (20). A clinical decision support (CDS) system (30) is configured to track a patient's clinical status, including at least a disease diagnosis and a current patient care phase. The catalog search module (32) is configured to search a catalog of molecular marker tests to identify molecular marker tests that have clinical applicability to patients in clinical situations tracked by the CDS system. A search is automatically triggered by the occurrence of a trigger event defined by a set of firing rules. The test module (44) is configured to perform a molecular marker test identified by the catalog search module in the computer using the patient's genetic sequencing data stored in the electronic patient medical record.
