Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and systems having an electronic medical records system which intelligently selects medical findings or related information and maps them to associated genes. An electronic medical records system intelligently selects genes and maps them to associated medical findings or other related information.

Claims (61)

1. A method comprising:

receiving data, the data identifying medical information;

determining, by a processor, an internal medical code associated with the medical information, the internal medical code being a non-genetic code, the internal medical code being machine readable and independent of genetic information;

determining, by a processor, genetic variants associated with the internal medical code, the determined genetic variant comprising a chromosome, the determined genetic variant being determined from a first database storing data identifying a plurality of genetic variants;

generating, by a processor, a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying at least one of the determined genetic variants, the identity of a gene, and a location of the gene within the chromosome, the graphical user interface comprising a selectable link connecting the displayed genetic variant to further information associated with the displayed genetic variant;

presenting the genetic variants in a graphical format using a computing device; and

upon selecting the selectable link:

retrieving data over the Internet from a second database, the data related to the gene; and

modifying the graphical user interface to present the further information associated with the displayed genetic variant.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a relevance score associated with the internal medical code and each of the genetic variants;

filtering the genetic variants based on the relevance score; and

presenting a filtered group of the genetic variants in a graphical format using the computing device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical format displays one or more genes associated with the genetic variants and locations of the one or more genes on associated chromosomes.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a user is enabled to select the one or more genes to view more information about the one or more genes.

5. A method comprising:

receiving data from a first database, the data identifying genetic information;

determining, by a processor, an internal medical code associated with the genetic information, the internal medical code being a non-genetic code, the internal medical code being machine readable and independent of the genetic information:

determining, by a processor, medical findings associated with the internal medical code;

generating, by a processor, a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying the genetic information, the graphical user interface comprising a selectable link connecting the displayed genetic information to the determined medical findings; and

upon selecting the selectable control:

retrieving data from a second database remotely, the second database remote from the first database, the data related to the medical findings; and

presenting the medical findings in a list format using the computing device upon actuating the selectable link.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

determining a relevance score associated with the internal medical code and each of the medical findings:

filtering the medical findings based on the relevance score; and

presenting a filtered group of the medical findings in a list format using the computing device.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the list format enables a user to select one of the medical findings to view information about a selected medical finding.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the information includes whether a patient medical record includes an instance of the selected medical finding.

9. A method comprising:

receiving an input;

determining, by a processor, an internal medical code associated with the input, the internal medical code being a non-genetic code;

determining, by a processor, microbiome genetic information associated with the internal medical code, wherein the microbiome genetic information is associated with genes of microorganisms living within a person which are related to the input, the determined microbiome being identified from a first database;

generating, by a processor, a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying the microbiome genetic information, the graphical user interface comprising a selectable link connecting the input to the determined medical findings; and

upon selecting the selectable link, presenting the microbiome genetic information in a graphical format using a computing device upon actuating the selectable link,

the internal medical code being machine readable and independent of the genetic information.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the graphical format indicates a microorganism associated with the microbiome genetic information.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the microbiome genetic information indicates the presence or absence of a microorganism.

12. The method of claim 9 further comprising:

receiving a human genetic variant;

determining an internal medical code associated with the human genetic variant;

determining medical items associated with the internal medical code; and

presenting the medical items in a list format on the computing device, wherein the input is at least one of the medical items.

13. A system comprising:

a database encoded on a memory device, the database having a library, the library including medical findings, genetic information, and one or more patient medical records;

a computing device in data communication with the database, wherein the computing device is programmed to:

receive an input;

determine an internal medical code associated with the input, the internal medical code being a non-genetic code;

determine related genetic variants associated with the internal medical code, the related genetic variants selected from the genetic information in the library, the determined genetic variants comprising a chromosome, the determined genetic variants being determined from a first database storing data identifying a plurality of genetic variants;

generate a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying at least one of the determined related genetic variants and a gene associated with the displayed related genetic variant, the graphical user interface comprising a selectable link connecting the displayed related genetic variant to further information associated with the displayed related genetic variant;

upon selecting the selectable control, retrieving data over the Internet from a second database, the data related to the gene, and presenting the related genetic variants in a graphical format; and

the internal medical code being machine readable and independent of genetic information.

14. A system comprising:

a database encoded on a memory device, the database having genetic information associated with abnormal medical findings, and one or more patient medical records;

a computing device in data communication with the database, wherein the computing device is programmed to:

access a patient medical record from the one or more patient medical records;

identify tumor sequencing information in the patient medical record, the tumor sequencing information associated with a non-genetic internal medical code, the identified tumor sequencing information being identified from a first database storing tumor sequencing information;

determine related genetic information associated with the tumor sequencing information from the genetic information associated with tumors, the determined related genetic information being associated with the non-genetic internal medical code of the tumor sequencing information, the determined related genetic information being identified from a second database storing genetic information, the second database remote from the first database;

generate a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying the tumor sequencing information, the graphical user interface comprising a selectable link connecting the displayed tumor sequencing information to the related genetic information;

upon selecting the selectable control, retrieving the determined genetic information over the Internet, and presenting the related genetic information in a graphical format; and

the internal medical code being machine readable and independent of genetic information.
