The EHR with CDS is essential to curate pharmacogenomic data and disseminate patient-specific information at the point of care. As part of the successful implementation of pharmacogenomics into clinical settings, all relevant clinical recommendations pertaining to gene-drug pairs must be summarized and presented to clinicians in a manner that is seamlessly integrated into the clinical workflow of the EHR. In some situations, ancillary systems and applications outside the EHR may be integrated to augment the capabilities of the EHR.
