Clinical laboratories are beginning to apply the recent advances in molecular biology to the testing of patient samples. The emerging field of Molecular Diagnostics will require a new Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory Information System which handles the data types, samples and test methods found in this field. The system must be very flexible in regards to supporting ad-hoc queries. The requirements which are shaping the developments in this field are reviewed and a data model developed. Several queries which demonstrate the data models ability to support the information needs of this area have been developed and run. These results demonstrate the ability of the purposed data model to meet the current and projected needs of this rapidly expanding field.
临床实验室正开始将分子生物学的最新进展应用于患者样本检测。新兴的分子诊断领域将需要一个新的分子诊断实验室信息系统，该系统要能处理该领域中发现的数据类型、样本和检测方法。在支持即席查询方面，该系统必须非常灵活。本文回顾了推动该领域发展的各项要求，并开发了一个数据模型。已经开发并运行了几个查询，这些查询展示了数据模型支持该领域信息需求的能力。这些结果证明了所提出的数据模型能够满足这个快速发展领域当前和预期的需求。
