  1. Assessing Risks for families with inherited cancers: an introduction to a new system Kevin Hughes, MD

  2. OMIM: Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man • 188 adult hereditary syndromes • Syndromes with at least 1 adult chronic disease • Benign 153 • Cancer 32 • Cancer plus benign 3 • Scheuner (Am J Med Gen, 2004)

  3. Adult hereditary syndromes: 188 • Scheuner (Am J Med Gen, 2004)

  4. 13 years of genetic testing • BRCA1/2 mutation carriers in the US • ~1,000,000 • Number identified to date • ~50,000 (~5%) This is likely the best of any adult hereditary syndrome

  5. Problems to solve • Most high risk women are not being identified or referred for couseling • Our Risk Clinics could not manage the volume if all high risk women were referred

  6. Introduction and Concept • In the age of the human genome project: • Our health care system must identify women at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer and manage them appropriately • This will decrease the morbidity and mortality of these diseases

  7. Our solution • We have developed a system that will • allow the patient to enter her own data into a database • decrease the labor intensive effort required of clinicians • Automatic analysis • Pedigree creation • Thus • Decrease labor for staff • Decrease cost • Increase volume of patients cared for • Increase quality of care

  8. HughesRiskApps modules follow a simple workflow Patient data entry Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Printout with suggested actions Clinician editing/enhancing Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Generate orders and documents

  9. Large scale methods • More high risk women identified • Integration of effective FH into workflow • More women cared for by the Risk Clinic • Increased efficiency of risk counselor

  10. Large scale methods • More high risk women identified • Integration of effective FH into workflow • More women cared for by the Risk Clinic • Increased efficiency of risk counselor

  11. HughesRiskApps allows input to a central database from multiple sources Website Desktop iPad

  12. iPad/Tablet PC Data Entry

  13. Patient can enter her own data using a simple iPad/Tablet PC interface • Requiring little or no help from the staff, patients enter their own data. • ~5th Grade Reading Level • Available in English, Spanish and Italian Sample screenshots follow

  14. Data Entry via Website

  15. Surgeon General Data Entry

  16. Surgeon General Data Entry • My Family Health Portrait allows patients to enter family history data • Data saved as an HL7 message • Data saved to HealthVault via HL7

  17. Data Entry via Website Web interface in development for patient data entry from home

  18. Staff Data Entry Through Desktop Interface

  19. The staff can enter or edit patient data using a simple Desktop interface

  20. Clinical Decision Support Immediate actions BRCAPRO Radiologist shown who is high risk Patient receives written guidance Letter suggesting they make an appt Information sheet Weekly Letter sent to patient and PCP

  21. Large scale methods • More high risk women identified • Integration of FH into normal clinic workflow • More women cared for by the Risk Clinic • Increased efficiency of risk counselor

  22. Next challenge: Improve efficiency in the Risk Clinic to manage the influx of patients • Minimize clinician work • Minimize redundant data entry • Minimize dictation and editing

  23. Newton Wellesley Hospital Breast Center 4/1/2007 to 12/01/2010 Breast Imaging ≥10% risk of mutation 2,255 referred for counseling 49,758 unique family histories Breast Center

  24. Current Approach

  25. Current Approach 70 to 150 minutes

  26. RiskApps 45 to 75 minutes

  27. Patient enters more detailed family history via a second level Tablet PC interface

  28. Details about each family member are collected

  29. And so on for each family member

  30. Desktop Application for the Risk Counselor

  31. Data from Tablet available for review, editing and enhancement by the risk counselor:Table interface

  32. Pedigree Interface

  33. Additional risk factors are edited/enhanced
