Abstract:
With dramatic decline of genome sequencing cost,high-throughput sequencing technologies have been applied in clinical laboratory field,and play an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment in complex diseases.Based on omics techniques,clinical laboratory data recording patient's diagnosis information has become the important independent medical research resources of the major health industry.Because these data include the patient's identity information,there are a series of ethical issues to be solved,such as protection of patients' informed consent right,patient privacy protection,information security protection,when carrying out the medical health big data research.Based on these problems,it proposed clinical laboratory data should be standard extraction,establishment of clinical laboratory data base for teaching,training,in order to improve the utilization of medical resources.Moreover,it is best to implement the written informed consent during the process of sample collection,informing the patient the data collected in diagnosis and treatment process may be used in related research in future.
