Data systems, genomic data and expertise of doctors.

Abstract

Introduction of genomic data into health care requires willingness from physicians to adopt decision support systems as well as genomic information as part of their work. In the interview study, doctors' expectations about data systems and genomic data, as well as challenges for their utilization, are brought into light. Besides technical functionality, linking of data systems and the new knowledge mediated by them for clinicians also requires that doctors understand them as part of their professional expertise and thus useful.
