Bridging the Gap in Genomic Implementation: Identifying User Needs for Precision Nephrology.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Genomic medicine holds transformative potential for personalized nephrology care; however, its clinical integration poses challenges. Automated clinical decision support (CDS) systems in the electronic health record (EHR) offer a promising solution but have shown limited impact. This study aims to glean practical insights into nephrologists' challenges using genomic resources, informing precision nephrology decision support tools.

Methods

We conducted an anonymous electronic survey among US nephrologists from January 19, 2021 to May 19, 2021, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. It assessed practice characteristics, genomic resource utilization, attitudes, perceived knowledge, self-efficacy, and factors influencing genetic testing de
