risk clinic module of hughesriskapps
DESCRIPTION
The Risk Clinic Module is designed to manage the data and the workflow of a Breast/Ovarian Cancer High Risk Clinic. It is currently under modification to increase its utility for other Hereditary Clinics, such as Cardiac Disease or Colon Cancer. A set of screenshots and an overview of the module can be reviewed via this downloadable PowerPoint presentation.TRANSCRIPT
Assessing Risks for families with inherited cancers: an introduction
to a new system
Kevin Hughes, MD
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)
Adult hereditary syndromes: 188
Scheuner (Am J Med Gen, 2004)
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
Problems to solve
• Most high risk women are not being identified or referred for counseling
• Our Risk Clinics could not manage the volume if all high risk women were referred
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
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
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
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
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
HughesRiskApps allows input to a central database from multiple sources
Desktop
Website
iPad
iPad/Tablet PC Data Entry
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
Portuguese
Sample screenshots follow
Tablet questions available in Spanish
Tablet questions available in Portuguese
Data Entry via Website
Surgeon General Data Entry
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
Data Entry via Website
Web interface available
Staff Data Entry Through Desktop Interface
The staff can enter or edit patient data using a simple Desktop interface
Clinical Decision Support•Immediate actions
–BRCAPRO, Tyrer Cuzick •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
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
Next challenge:
• Minimize clinician work• Minimize redundant data entry• Minimize dictation and editing
Improve efficiency in the Risk Improve efficiency in the Risk Clinic to manage the influx of Clinic to manage the influx of patientspatients

for counseling
≥10% risk of mutation
Current ApproachPatient provides family history
Data into CAGENE
Data into Progeny
Assess risk level
Face to Face counseling
Letters/Notes generated
Current ApproachPatient provides family history 0 to 10 minutes
Data into CAGENE 5 to 10 minutes
Data into Progeny 10 to 20 minutes
Assess risk level 5 to 10 minutes
Face to Face counseling 30 to 60 minutes
Letters/Notes generated 20 to 40 minutes
70 to 150 minutes
RiskAppsPatient provides family history 0 minutes
Data into CAGENE 0 minutes
Data into Progeny 0 minutes
Assess risk level 5 minutes
Face to Face counseling 30 to 60 minutes
Letters/Notes generated 10 minutes
45 to 75 minutes
Patient enters more detailed family history via a second level Tablet PC interface
Details about each family member are collected
Desktop Application for the Risk Counselor
Data from Tablet available for review, editing and enhancement by the risk counselor: table interface
Pedigree Interface
Additional risk factors are edited/enhanced
BRCA and other genetic test results can be easily recorded
Choose type of panel (Breast, colon, cardiac, etc.) and the available test can be
selected
Choose panel
Choose mutation or type in
Counselor can link families seen before to the current patient
Risk algorithms run
• Pedigree shows risk of mutation by BRCAPRO run for each family member
BRCAPRO has been run for each relevant family member, with the risk of mutation shown for each
Suggests what to do next (Test a relative)
Genetic Testing recommendations can be changed by the user
Suggests which relative to test in order of likelihood of mutation
Myriad, Tyrer-Cuzick and BRCAPRO results are shown with the ability to use the slider to set the clinician’s decision as to the risk of mutation
60
Risk of breast cancer over time shown for each model
Lifetime risk of breast cancer shown if tested positive, or tests negative by BRCAPRO
Lifetime risk of ovarian cancer
Lifetime risk of ovarian cancer shown if tested positive, or tests negative by BRCAPRO
Switch perspective to consider the BRCA2 case
Gail model results are displayed
Claus model results are displayed
Myriad model results are displayed
Colorectal tab
PREMM Model
Clinical Decision support suggests alternative syndromes in order of likelihood
Clinical Decision support shows manifestations of selected syndrome
Buttons open specific OMIM Website and Genetests Website
Find all mutation carriers
Selective Testing Cascade Testing of
family members
Mutation Found
Cascade testing of relatives of mutation positive patients
• Help document the testing of family members
• Shows number tested vs number of living relatives age 18 or older with a mutation risk of 10% or greater
Generates multiple documents, saving time on dictation and cost of transcription
• Letter to referring doctor• Letter to the patient• Progress note for chart• Letter to relatives who need testing• Letter of Medical Necessity for
insurance company– Justify genetic testing– Justify MRI
Letter to the patient
Letter for patient to give to her relative who needs testing
Letter to relative includes list of testing centers in her area
Letter to the referring doctor
Reports generated at the click of a button
HughesRiskApps complies with the HL7 standard• Data can be shared with any HL7
compliant software• Data can be uploaded or downloaded
to any EHR that has a complete family history section and that is HL7 compliant– None currently exist but EHR vendors are
likely to improve their product to this level soon
HughesRiskApps can help move us into the Genomic Age on a population level
• 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
