GI OnDEMAND has recently partnered with Ambry Genetics to integrate online genetic counseling and testing services into gastroenterology practices in the United States to better identify hereditary gastrointestinal cancer syndromes.
According to a press release, GI OnDEMAND will offer the CARE (Comprehensive, Assessment, Risk, and Education) program through the partnership. The program automates the process for genetic screening by sending to patients that are being seen in GI practices an electronic family history assessment tool in order to risk stratify them for the need for genetic testing. If patients meet criteria, an automated genetic testing cascade will ensue.
