Abstract:
PURPOSE:The increasing usage of high throughput sequencing in personalized medicine brings new challenges to the realm of healthcare informatics. Patient records need to accommodate data of unprecedented size and complexity as well as keep track of their production process. In this work we present a solution for integrating genomic data into electronic health records via openEHR archetypes. METHODS:We use the popular Variant Call Format as the base format to represent genetic test results within openEHR. We evaluate existing openEHR archetypes to determine what can be extended or specialized and what needs to be developed ex novo. RESULTS:Eleven new archetypes have been developed, while an existing one has been specialized to represent genomic data. We show their applicability to rare genetic diseases and compare our approach to HL7 FHIR. CONCLUSION:The proposed model allows to represent genetic test results in health records in a structured format. It supports different levels of abstraction, allowing both automated processing and clinical decision support. It is extensible via external references, allowing to keep track of data provenance and adapt to future domain changes.
