Abstract P5-09-20: Improved patient compliance and genetic screening efficiency following implementation of an electronic pedigree survey (PROGENY)

摘要: Introduction Patients referred for genetic counseling do not consistently complete a family history questionnaires (FHQ), which is required before scheduling appointment (GCA). A paper survey has traditionally been used to collect this FHQ data. This requires the counselor manually input patient9s information into pedigree generator prior their GCA, thereby delaying screening process. Some centers have switched from using web-based pedigree-generator, like PROGENY, collecting No literature date evaluated impact of change on patient compliance with completing FHQ, process, or outcomes. study assesses changes in and efficiency implementation PROGENY compared traditional surveying as means Hypothesis More patients will GCA there be reduced time between referral completion use survey. Methods retrospective chart review six months after PROGENY. Independent t-tests assuming unequal variances were conducted JMP compare without Results found that 41% more completed 25% when Further, was statistically significant reduction (t(311)=9.14, p Conclusions T hese results support our hypothesis suggest utilizing data correlates improved efficiency. Future work should investigate how quality improvement such impacts outcomes, timeliness finding an actionable mutation detecting cancerous precancerous lesions. limitations include high variability. likely due factors cancellations, geneticist availability workload, age, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status. assess these variables Citation Format: Hennick TM, Khan T, Moroose R, Bisson R.
