P513: Expanding genetic testing access for at-risk individuals through the family history of cancer patient portal questionnaire
Abstract
Genetic testing of unaffected individuals with a family history of certain cancers informs screening and risk-reducing clinical actions. However, genetic counselor access is often limited, and extended wait times for genetic counseling appointments pose a barrier to the evaluation and testing of individuals. In response to patient feedback for more convenient and rapid genetic counseling access and an opportunity for innovation, Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic States (KPMAS) created a virtual, patient-facing electronic family history questionnaire, which includes education, genetic testing consent, and laboratory visit scheduling.
