Telegenetics
The use of technology in a healthcare setting can allow a patient, without local access to a geneticist, to engage with a genetics professional and it can allow a primary care provider to contact a genetics provider to become better equipped to provide care to an individual with a complex genetic disorder. NCC works with the seven RGNs, NGEFSC, HRSA, and national partners (such as the American Telemedicine Association) to support the training of genetics and non-genetic providers in telemedicine tools and work to develop health outcome measures that demonstrate the utility of telemedicine services.
