Reviewing a GMS Cancer referral

Danger

The clincial interpretation of referrals and variants should follow your local best practice guidelines

The GMS Interpretation Portal enables users to review a GMS Cancer Referral in NGIS using a simplified workflow, as well as using the DSS. In the following tabs, we offer an overview of these approaches.

Interpret your referral without DSS

The following video provides an overview of how users can review a GMS Cancer Referral. Find additional information in the tabs.

  1. Identify referral from the Referral Grid's "To Be Reviewed" tab.

  2. Find the information uncovered by the Bioinformatics Pipeline in the Variant Summary section, Primary and Secondary HTMLs.

  3. Complete the Reporting Outcomes Questionnaire from the Feedback Forms section, by reviewing the Summary of Findings V1.

Interpret your referral with DSS

DSS provide more functionality that are not present in the Interpretation Portal. If you wish to interpret your referral using these services, you can link to it from the Cancer Referral Overview page

Creating a Summary of Findings in the DSS

When interpreting a case with the DSS, a new Summary of Findings will be generated and sent to the Interpretation Portal, moving the cancer referral back to the Pending Outcomes. To close the case, users will have to complete the Reporting Outcomes Questionnaire for this new Summary of Findings.
