The goal of this sequential study design is to increase genetic testing in those meeting national clinical guidelines. The main question it aims to answer is: which intervention is most effective in uptake of genetic testing for the target population? Participants will receive genetic testing and counseling that may initiate life-saving screenings.
Germline genetic testing is recommended by the National Cancer Center Network (NCCN) for individuals with a personal history of ovarian cancer, young-onset (<50 years) breast cancer, and a family history of ovarian cancer or male breast cancer, among others. Recent publications demonstrate that the uptake of genetic testing is under-utilized, overall, and rates are consistently lower in minority populations. EHR-based algorithms will be used to identify patients of two Penn Medicine Ob/Gyn practices for whom genetic testing is recommended based on NCCN guidelines and to test pragmatic methods using messages delivered to patients or clinicians to encourage testing. The ACC Electronic Phenotyping Core developed the algorithms based on cancer registry data along with family history fields and this study will develop and test messages directed at patients and clinicians to encourage testing. The aims are:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sequential Communications | Experimental | This sequential arm contains three types of communication to be employed following non-response to the previous type. The initial communication will be a direct message to the patient via the MyPennMedicine. The subsequent message will be sent as a text via the Way To Health app(lication). The final communication will be a nudge to the patient's physician which will send upon opening the patient's chart and will remain as a flag thereafter. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sequential EHR Communications | Other | The intervention includes 3 message types: an EHR message, followed by a text message, followed by physician nudge. Each subsequent type will be activated if the previous type does not yield a response. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Genetic Counseling Appointments Completed Following MPM Delivery | Scheduling and completion of genetic counseling appointments will be monitored through EHR. MPM stands for MyPennMedicine message which will be sent directly to the patient through the medical record. | Within six months of MPM delivery |
| Number of Genetic Counseling Appointments Completed Following Provider Nudge | Scheduling and completion of genetic counseling appointments will be monitored through EHR. The provider nudge will be delivered as a Best Practice Alert (BPA) upon opening the patient's chart. | Within six months of provider nudge |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Open Rate of MPM | The proportion of eligible participants who open the invitation to receive genetic counseling and testing compared to the total amount of eligible participants sent an MPM. | Within one month of receiving MPM |
| Response Rate of Way To Health text |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Signed Referrals | The total number of referrals signed by the patient's Ob/Gyn provider for genetic counseling and testing. | Within one month of receiving referral |
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients who have previously received genetic counseling and/or testing
