Integrating genetic information resources with an EHR

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2006:2006:904.

Abstract

As the knowledge about the genetic factors associated with clinical conditions increases, access to information that can help practicing clinicians better understand these factors becomes essential for optimal care and communication with patients. We describe the implementation of 'infobuttons' from the problem list module of an electronic health record (EHR) to on-line genetic resources.
