Our aim is to eliminate the disadvantages of genetic testing reported on paper. We propose a scope that should be systematized in the first step of digitalizing genetic testing. The proposed method is to order a genetic test as an additional test to a tissue specimen that has already been obtained. As a result of the development of a prototype system based on the proposed method, it was found that the electronic medical record system can handle genetic test information from the time of test request.
