Method of supporting interpretation of genetic information by medical specialist, information management system, and integrated data management device

An information management system that supports an expert meeting of medical specialists to interpret genetic information, comprising:

• a terminal device comprising a display unit;
• and
• an integrated data management device comprising a controller and a memory, wherein
• the controller of the integrated data management device:
• accepts a test request requesting a test for genetic information on a sample extracted from a patient;
• extracts, from the memory, a plurality of test status information that are stored in association with the accepted test request and indicates status of the test for the test request, and schedule information on a schedule of the expert meeting to interpret the genetic information obtained in the test for the test request;
• and
• displays, on the display unit of the terminal device, the extracted plurality of test status information in a first display region and the extracted schedule information in a second display region, the first and the second display regions displayed side-by-side on the display unit such that the test status information and the extracted schedule information for the patient appears on a same line, and,
• the test status information comprises information on whether the test for the genetic information on the sample extracted from the patient is completed.
