FHIR Genomics can be used to enable multiple steps in the genomic testing and interpretation process. The figure shows a hypothetical workflow that a clinician would carry out. a First, any of a number of genetics tests are ordered electronically, and the details are transmitted to an internal or third-party lab, for example a sequencing lab. This step can be accomplished using an app such as the Diagnostic Order App or through native electronic health record (EHR) capabilities. b Second, the lab generates structured test results which are returned to the clinician within their workflow. This step can be accomplished using an app such as the Diagnostic Reporter App or through direct interfaces. c Third, results can be presented and contextualized for the clinician at the point of care through apps that can integrate clinical and genomic data, such as SMART Precision Cancer Medicine.
