Abstract

From the earliest recognition of families with a high rate of cancer over 100 years ago, researchers have been focused on the genetic underpinnings of inherited cancers; however, identification remains a significant challenge due to persistent barriers across patient, provider, and health system stakeholders, despite recent advances in the development of electronic medical records (EMR) and risk prediction tools that use family health history (FHH) information. Innovations in bioinformatic technology hold great promise in overcoming many of these barriers, particularly with the development of FHH applications that collect and analyze family data and SMART-on-FHIR capabilities that can integrate third-party apps with the EMR.
