Penn Medicine Information Services team became a semi-finalist in the 2021 Healthcare Innovation Innovator Awards program as they were able to develop a way to allow clinicians and genetic counselors to enter orders within the EHR and electronically interface them with an outside lab. The interface then transmits discrete results into the EHR, segregating genetic variants, which allows clinicians to make better informed clinical decisions. Solving this business problem integrates the clinical data and enables clinicians to review results as part of the chart. "We became one of the first organizations in the country to enable the import of discrete genetic test results into our EHR, working alongside Epic," Landgraf says. Very few healthcare institutions have implemented genetic testing results into the EHR, and Penn Medicine now has several outside laboratories lining up to complete integration of genetic lab tests within its EHR and other health systems have asked how they completed this project in a relatively short time frame.
