Definition

Genetics testing includes inherited disease panels, pharmacogenomics, and other DNA/RNA assays where interpretation may be multidisciplinary.

Workflow

Workflows often include wet lab batches, instrument file ingestion, bioinformatics handoffs for NGS sites, and final clinical reporting with versioned amendments.

Implementation

Implementation should document who may edit interpretations, how amendments propagate to the EHR, and how optional pedigree data is stored according to policy.

Interoperability

Results may flow to EHR via HL7 or emerging API channels; instrument connectivity depends on vendor offerings and validated pipelines.
