Ever wanted to identify cohorts of oncology patients with a specific mutation at your institution? Rather than manually sift through piles of PDF reports, we describe our institution's experience with integrating structured genomic data into our electronic health record to make these queries more efficient. Through a combination of backloading prior reports as well as developing a pipeline to make next generation sequencing testing flow through the electronic health record similar to other labs, we have integrated over 17,000 genomic testing results into our system.
