Detailed Description
OUTLINE:
PHASE I: Patients' medical data are collected.
PHASE II: Patients complete family history questionnaires and their medical data are collected. Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) subject matter experts and OMC providers review patients' medical data at bi-monthly virtual conferences. OMC providers will be consenting to release their patients' medical records to SCCA so that SCCA subject matter experts (cancer geneticist and/or genetic counselor) can identify patients with an underlying hereditary cancer syndrome to be offered genetic counseling and testing.
OMC providers receive coaching from SCCA subject matter experts for guidance on providing genetic counseling and testing to their patients.
