It had been thought this new system would require new technologies, such as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), and thus wouldn't become widely available for several years. To accelerate the new process, GenomOncology, working in collaboration with the Buffett Cancer Center, developed a proprietary software program called GO-Connect. The program converts complex genetic testing results into a format that is easily incorporated into EHR systems for ongoing patient care.
GO-Connect can act as a "molecular hub," receiving gene variant information from a variety of data sources and transmitting the data to both the EHR and other data repositories. The system is configurable to meet each client's specific requirements and provides rapid integration with any EHR using technologies currently available.

"This solution addresses one of the most common challenges in health care today – streamlining patient information into a manageable, digestible format. Oncologists today often need to open several PDFs and go to multiple portals to obtain the information required to make a treatment decision or assess trial eligibility," said Manuel J. Glynias, founder and CEO of GenomOncology. "GO-Connect puts NGS data in the same part of the EHR as the serum chemistries or blood counts, which will make using this data significantly more convenient."
"We want everybody to use this technology," Dr. Scott Campbell said. "It's available free of charge for non-commercial use if you have a license with the National Library of Medicine."
Dr. Scott Campbell and Manuel Glynias presented on the new technology at the Cancer Informatics for Cancer Centers Conference (CI4CC) in Hawaii on April 3. In addition, both the Campbells presented at the SNOMED conferences in London the week of April 9th.
