Simplifying the use of pharmacogenomics in clinical practice: Building the genomic prescribing system.

Background: A barrier to the use of genomic information during prescribing is the limited number of software solutions that combine a user-friendly interface with complex medical data. We built and designed an online, secure, electronic custom interface termed the Genomic Prescribing System (GPS).

Methods: Actionable pharmacogenomic (PGx) information was reviewed, collected, and stored in the back-end of GPS to enable creation of customized drug- and variant-specific clinical decision support (CDS) summaries.
