Discover how to efficiently set up and manage a high-risk clinic using information technology solutions and advanced risk assessment models. This innovative approach aims to identify mutation carriers early on and provide them with proper care and management to prevent diseases. Learn about workflow optimization, genetic testing strategies, family member screening, and the integration of technology for better patient outcomes and clinic efficiency. Harness the power of IT to enhance patient care and streamline clinic operations for high-risk individuals.

How to set up a high risk clinic Kevin S.Hughes, MD, FACS Co-Director, Avon Comprehensive Breast Evaluation Center Massachusetts General Hospital Surgeon The Newton-Wellesley Hospital Breast Center
Problems to solve • Most high risk women not identified • If identified, Risk Clinics could not manage the volume
Find 400,000 mutation carriers • Genetic testing is 10% positive • Test 4,000,000 to find 400,000
Find 400,000 mutation carriers • Genetic testing is 10% positive • Test 4,000,000 to find 400,000 • Test 38% of patients you see See 10,526,316, test 4,000,000, find 400,000
