One of the goals of the Northwell Health Genomics Alliance is to develop a shared database consisting of annotated genomic data with detailed clinical information, which will help build the evidence base for the medical necessity of genomic and genetic testing in clinical practice. To this end, when orders for OnkoSight tumor sequencing are ordered online through CareEvolve or the EMR, clinicians are prompted to answer a set of questions about the patient case that will feed into the genomic database. The pre-order questions for these tests are demonstrated below.
Pathology-directed questions
Oncology-directed questions
