“Genetic testing is the key to unlocking the potential of personalized medicine, but the complexity and rapid growth in the field make it difficult to manage,” said Mark Harris, Ph.D., founder and chief innovation officer of NextGxDx.

“We’re proud to work with OHSU to deliver the tools they need to manage genetic test ordering in a more systematic and cost-efficient way.”

The laboratory management team at OHSU plans to use GeneConnect’s administrative tools to monitor test utilization, track electronic orders and results, and easily compare testing options across reference labs. By incorporating GeneConnect into their ordering workflow, the goal is to support their physicians and genetic counselors in selecting the most clinically-effective and cost-efficient laboratory tests for their patients.
