NEW YORK – Genomic information needs to be incorporated into electronic health record systems with care, especially as that data increases in complexity, according to a new statement from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.

Electronic health record systems (EHRs) have enabled physicians to more easily share patient data with each other to facilitate care as well as with patients themselves through patient portals. As genomic data increasingly informs patient care, it also needs to be incorporated in EHRs. In a statement appearing today in Genetics in Medicine, the ACMG provided guidelines for how genomic data should be stored and accessed through EHRs.
