Leveraging an Informatics Approach to Identify an Unmet Clinical Need for BRCA1 / 2 Testing Among Patients With Ovarian Cancer.

We were able to successfully use a novel NLP pipeline to assess use of testing among patients with ovarian cancer. Despite relatively high levels of testing at our institution, 22% of patients had no documentation of genetic testing and documentation of referral to genetics among carriers in the CNS was low. Given success of the NLP pipeline, such an informatics-based approach holds promise as a scalable solution to identify gaps in genetic testing to ensure optimal treatment interventions in a timely manner.
