Abstract
Abstract: Knowledge of a person's potential to inherit certain diseases has rapidly become a valuable part of the discussion between provider and patient. Knowing the risk of hereditary disorders allows providers to include screening and diagnostic tests in a timely way. The family heath history is an easy and important tool for identification of risk for genetic diseases, including cancers. A project, which incorporated patient education and technology, was developed to improve the collection of family health history and identify high-risk patients for genetic cancers and/or diseases.
