Increasing genetic counseling referral rates through bundled interventions after ovarian cancer diagnosis.

Objective: To increase genetic counseling referrals for patients with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Methods: A practice-gap analysis was performed after measuring baseline genetic counseling referral rates to identify barriers to referral from the multidisciplinary single institution EOC care group. A Genetics Referral Toolkit consisting of a referral template, a genetic risk checklist, family history worksheet and provider and patient awareness was developed to address identified gaps with the goal of increasing referral rates.
