Provider survey responses to questions regarding their experiences with the Genomic Prescribing System (GPS).

Survey Responses for Providers Who Logged into GPS
Agree Strongly N (%) Agree Somewhat N (%) Not Sure N (%) Disagree Somewhat N (%) Disagree Strongly N (%)
The GPS information was relevant to my patient’s situation. 1 (6%) 4 (24%) 4 (24%) 5 (29%) 3 (18%)
I decreased the risk of side effects for my patients by utilizing GPS information. 0 (0%) 4 (24%) 5 (29%) 2 (12%) 6 (35%)
Accessing the GPS was a natural part of my clinical workflow. 1 (6%) 4 (24%) 3 (18%) 6 (35%) 3 (18%)
I had enough time to evaluate the results presented in GPS. 5 (29%) 7 (41%) 3 (18%) 1 (6%) 1 (6%)
The GPS provided straightforward prescribing guidance. 4 (24%) 7 (41%) 5 (29%) 1 (6%) 0 (0%)
The GPS was simple to use. 5 (29%) 8 (47%) 3 (18%) 1 (6%) 0 (0%)
The clinical decision support summaries were too complicated or technical. 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 1 (6%) 7 (41%) 9 (53%)
Survey Responses for Providers Who Did Not Log into GPS
Agree Strongly N (%) Agree Somewhat N (%) Not Sure N (%) Disagree Somewhat N (%) Disagree Strongly N (%)
I did not have time to log into the GPS. 4 (33%) 1 (8%) 2 (17%) 1 (8%) 4 (33%)
I did not log into the GPS due to the complexity of this particular patient. 1 (8%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 3 (25%) 8 (67%)
I did not remember this patient was in the study. 4 (33%) 3 (25%) 0 (0%) 3 (25%) 2 (17%)
I did not remember how to access the GPS. 2 (17%) 5 (42%) 1 (8%) 1 (8%) 3 (25%)
I have not found the GPS to be a useful tool in my practice because the information provided is typically not clinically relevant. 1 (8%) 1 (8%) 7 (58%) 2 (17%) 1 (8%)
I have not found the GPS to be a useful tool in my practice because the information provided is typically not supported by enough evidence. 1 (8%) 0 (0%) 8 (67%) 1 (8%) 2 (17%)
I have not found the GPS to be a useful tool in my practice because I have not been able to adapt the system to fit my needs. 1 (8%) 3 (25%) 5 (42%) 2 (17%) 1 (8%)
For this patient, I did not think there would be an obvious benefit from incorporating genetic information. 0 (0%) 2 (17%) 7 (58%) 2 (17%) 1 (8%)
Changing the drug or dose would have meant deviating from the accepted standard of care, so pharmacogenomic information was not relevant to my decision-making. 0 (0%) 1 (8%) 3 (25%) 5 (42%) 3 (25%)
