What is Clinical Decision Support System
The Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) at Precision Diagnostics is a proprietary digital interface designed to bridge the gap between complex genomic data and real-time clinical decision-making.
Integrated into our Clinical Accredited Reports, Doctor Portal, Electronic Health Record (PreciseEHR) systems, and Electronic Medical Record (EMR), it empowers healthcare professionals to make accurate, timely, and personalised therapeutic choices.

Why PRECISE-CDSS Matters
Clinical decisions based on traditional protocols do not account for genetic variability, which may lead to adverse drug reactions, ineffective treatments, and unnecessary hospital readmissions.
This highlights the essential role of PRECISE-CDSS in interpreting pharmacogenomics data and supporting safer, evidence-based prescribing.
A 2022 study by Keogh, Fragala, and colleagues revealed that “DNA testing, a clinical decision support system, and pharmacists were used together to identify medication safety and effectiveness issues and recommend appropriate changes.”
PRECISE-CDSS Core Capabilities
-
Guideline Integration and Knowledge Base
Integrates trusted pharmacogenomic guidelines such as CPIC, FDA, DPWG, IWPC or drug label recommendations, enabling evidence-based alerts and recommendations.
-
Genotype-to-Drug Interpretation Module
Automatically translates raw genetic test results (e.g., CYP2C19 *2/*3) into clinically meaningful phenotypes (e.g., poor metabolizer), ensuring accurate interpretation for decision-making.
-
Clinical Actionable for Alternative Drug Recommendations
Suggests alternative medications with safer or more effective pharmacogenomic profiles.
-
Clinical Actionable for Dose Optimization
Provides evidence-based dosage adjustments, reducing the risk of over- or under-dosing.
-
Clinician-Friendly Interface
Includes brief clinical evidence explanations and guideline references within alerts to help clinicians understand the pharmacogenomic rationale behind each recommendation.
-
Patient-Centric View
Delivers easy-to-understand summaries for patients that increase confidence and adherence to genetic-guided treatments provided by healthcare providers.
-
Preemptive Decision Support
Stores and reuses genetic information for future prescriptions, providing proactive alerts even before an adverse event or new order occurs.
-
Data Security and Privacy Framework
Implements robust access control and encryption to protect sensitive genetic and health data, complying with regulations like PDPA.
By embedding the PRECISE-CDSS into every clinical interaction, we turn data into informed decisions and genetics into genuine health outcomes. We do this reliably, securely, and intelligently.

PRECISE-CDSS is the Clinical Decision Support System from Precision Diagnostics, designed to connect complex genomic data with clinical decisions. By translating pharmacogenomic information into insights, the platform helps healthcare professionals make informed, timely and personalised prescribing decisions. It brings precision medicine into clinical workflows, supporting treatment choices that consider each patient’s genetic profile.
Integrated with Clinical Accredited Reports, the Doctor Portal, PreciseEHR electronic health records and electronic medical records, PRECISE-CDSS makes genetic insights accessible within healthcare systems. Clinicians can review relevant information alongside patient records, helping them incorporate pharmacogenomics into care. This connected approach supports the use of genetic testing results when evaluating medication suitability and planning individualised treatment.
The system’s genotype interpretation module translates genetic test results into clinically meaningful phenotypes. For example, CYP2C19 results can be presented as metaboliser categories to support prescriber review. Its knowledge base incorporates pharmacogenomic guidance from sources such as CPIC, DPWG, IWPC and FDA drug labelling information. These references inform clinical alerts and recommendations, giving healthcare professionals an understanding of the evidence behind each prescribing consideration.
PRECISE-CDSS supports alternative medication recommendations and dose optimisation by highlighting genetic factors that may influence drug response. Where relevant guidance is available, it helps clinicians assess options that may offer a more suitable pharmacogenomic profile or identify dosage considerations requiring review.
Brief evidence summaries and guideline references accompany alerts, supporting clinical judgement and helping prescribers understand the rationale behind recommendations. The goal is to support safer medication management through accessible, actionable information.
A patient-centred view provides understandable summaries that help healthcare providers explain genetic findings and treatment considerations. Clear communication can support more informed conversations about personalised medicine and medication decisions. Preemptive decision support also allows stored genetic information to inform future prescriptions, bringing relevant insights forward as treatment needs change.
Access controls and encryption help protect sensitive genetic and health information within the platform’s data security and privacy framework.
For healthcare organisations seeking to incorporate pharmacogenomics into routine practice, PRECISE-CDSS connects genetic interpretation, clinical evidence and digital workflows. Its clinician-friendly interface supports the practical use of precision medicine across prescribing decisions, while keeping patient information and treatment context central to review.
By making genomic insights easier to interpret and access, Precision Diagnostics helps healthcare professionals move towards more individualised care. Partner with Precision Diagnostics to explore how its Clinical Decision Support System can support your organisation and bring personalised healthcare closer to the communities you serve.
