“Electronic health records hold promise in augmenting current studies of genetic testing, according to a study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
The researchers, from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard, analyzed the EHR data of 10,715 patients being treated by 942 physicians affiliated with academic medical centers. The study found that genetic testing was ordered by a “diverse” group of physicians, who ordered tests on 1.1 percent of their female patients of child bearing age.”
