Clinical Decision Support to Implement CYP2D6 Drug-Gene Interaction

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2015:216:946.

Abstract

The level of CYP2D6 metabolic activity can be predicted by pharmacogenomic testing, and concomitant use of clinical decision support has the potential to prevent adverse effects from those drugs metabolized by this enzyme. Our initial findings after implementation of clinical decision support alerts integrated in the electronic health records suggest high feasibility, but also identify important challenges.
