Ensuring the Quality of Molecular Genetic Testing in Healthcare Delivery Systems: Promoting Effective Reporting and Use of Test Results for Clinical Decision Making
ArchivedCenters for Disease Control and Prevention
Description
Purpose: The intent of the RFA is to provide funding for the design and implementation of a pilot project to evaluate the previously developed clinician-friendly molecular genetic test report format and other principles established in previous work supported by the CDC (J Mol Diagn 2009;11:162-171; J Mol Diagn 2008:10:459-468) to determine whether changes in clinical and laboratory practices are likely to improve the quality of patient care within a targeted healthcare delivery system. A healthcare delivery system can refer to a fee-for-service network, health maintenance organization, academic medical center with outreach clinics, or similar entities with a diverse but defined patient population. Specified genetic conditions for which clinical molecular testing is available will be chosen as models in carrying out the work proposed.
