The benefit of genetic testing is a chance for a better understanding of risk for a certain disease. This can help patients make more informed decisions about their health.

Physicians at Mosaic Life Care completed a review of the rate of compliance with genetic testing among patients treated between August 2013 – May 2014.

Only 20 percent of our patients completed the genetic consultation with further testing.

The low rate of completion is something we will be looking at in more detail to see how we can improve. We will also explore what we need to better communicate the importance of testing and what the in-depth factors are behind the high number of patients who declined testing.
