1Division of Genetics, Foundation for Blood Research, Cumberland Foreside, ME. dlea@fbr.org
Nurses are expanding their roles in telemedicine to provide essential genetics services, improving access for families. This integration enhances genetic healthcare delivery, especially for those facing geographical or professional barriers.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Genetics
- Telemedicine
Background:
- Telemedicine can overcome barriers to genetics services, such as travel and distance.
- Shortages of genetics professionals limit access to essential services.
- Nurses are increasingly involved in delivering genetics services via telemedicine.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present emerging nursing roles in telemedicine for genetics services.
- To highlight the importance of nurses in developing telemedicine genetics systems.
- To explore how nursing can enhance genetic healthcare delivery.
Main Methods:
- Review of current nursing practices in telemedicine and genetics.
- Description of new nursing roles in genetic risk assessment and counseling.
- Presentation of the Genomics Nurse Case Coordinator role.
Main Results:
- Nurses play a vital role in connecting patients, healthcare systems, and communities.
- Emerging roles include genetic risk assessment, counseling, referral, and care coordination.
- The Genomics Nurse Case Coordinator role expands maternal-child health nursing.
Conclusions:
- Nurses are crucial for integrating genetics services into telemedicine.
- Telemedicine provides opportunities for tailored, community-based genetic healthcare.
- Nursing involvement ensures quality and accessible genetic services for families.
