Dick Taylor, Chief Clinical Informatics Officer at BJC HealthCare & Washington University in St. Louis, shares his thoughts about using Aura to simplify connections to specialty diagnostic labs for easier ordering and actionable results in the latest article from EpicShare. "Our oncologists send thousands of orders each year to specialty diagnostic labs that perform genetic tests to help understand how different treatment options would work for patients based on their genetic profile. The challenge was that physicians and their staff were filling out orders for these tests on paper and faxing them, and the results came back in a PDF. That was fine for legal and medical records purposes, but it’s not as useful from a clinical and treatment perspective... We wanted a simple solution for connecting to labs."
