A novel clinician interface to improve clinician access to up-to-date genetic results.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To understand the impact of GeneInsight Clinic (GIC), a web-based tool designed to manage genetic information and facilitate communication of test results and variant updates from the laboratory to the clinics, we measured the use of GIC and the time it took for new genetic knowledge to be available to clinicians.

Methods

Usage data were collected across four study sites for the GIC launch and post-GIC implementation time periods. The primary outcome measures were the time (average number of days) between variant change approval and notification of clinic staff, and the time between notification and viewing the patient record.

Results

Post-GIC, time between a variant change approval and provider notification was shorter than at launch (average days at launc
