Competency information

Details

Communicate results in a way that is useful to the clinical team, highlighting their findings.

Considerations

  • The information needs of clinical genetics and other healthcare teams.
  • Local policies for clinical reporting and differences between centres.
  • Relevance and limitations of data from specific sources to the case(s) of interest.
  • The operation of laboratory information systems for recording results and generating reports.
  • The process for generation and validation of clinical reports.

Relevant learning outcomes

# Outcome
# 4 Outcome Compare major bioinformatics resources or pathogen typing and identification for clinical diagnostics and how their results can be summarised and integrated with other lines of evidence to produce clinically valid reports.
# 5 Outcome Interpret evidence from bioinformatic tools and resources and integrate this into the sum of genetic information for the interpretation and reporting of test results from patients.
# 6 Outcome Perform the recording of building or version numbers of resources used on a given date, including those of linked data sources, and understand the clinical relevance of this data.
