Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)

The final mile of genomic medicine is the most difficult: getting the information to the clinician in a way they can understand and act upon.

The Knowledge Gap

Most physicians are not geneticists. A report that says "Heterozygous for c.123G>A in BRCA1" is meaningless to a primary care provider without context.

Just-in-Time Education

Modern CDSS tools provide "infobuttons"—links to concise, curated summaries of the gene, the condition, and the management guidelines—directly within the EHR workflow.
