Abstract
Objective: This article describes the implementation of preemptive clinical pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing linked to an automated clinical decision support (CDS) system delivering actionable PGx information to clinicians at the point of care at UCSF Health, a large Academic Medical Center.
Methods: A multidisciplinary team developed the strategic vision for the PGx program. Drug-gene interactions of interest were compiled, and actionable alleles identified. A genotyping platform was selected and validated in-house. Following HIPAA protocols, genotype results were electronically transferred and stored in electronic health records (EHRs). CDS was developed and integrated with electronic prescribing.
Results: We developed a customized PGx program for 56 medications and 15 genes. Two hundred thirty-three pharmacogenomic prescribing alerts and 15 pharmacogenomic testing prompts, approved by clinicians, were built into EHR to deliver actionable clinical PGx information to clinicians.
Conclusions: Our multidisciplinary team successfully implemented preemptive PGx testing linked to point-of-care CDS to guide clinicians with precise medication decision-making.
