title: Information technology and precision medicine.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To provide oncology nurses with an overview of clinical decision support (CDS) and explore opportunities for genomic CDS interventions. The nation's first personalized cancer decision support tool, My Cancer Genome, is presented as an exemplar of a novel CDS tool.
  
  
  METHODS
  Published nursing and medical literature and the internet for an exemplar.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CDS is a sophisticated health information technology that can translate and integrate genomic knowledge with patient information, providing recommendations at the point of care.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nurses, as key stakeholders, must have an understanding of CDS interventions and their application to fully participate in all stages of CDS development and implementation.
