Inter-professional collaboration in oncogenetics can enhance service quality. However, current research lacks detail on collaborative models and their evaluation, necessitating further investigation.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Healthcare Services
- Health Policy
Background:
- Inter-professional collaboration is recognized for potentially improving oncogenetic services.
- Limited understanding exists regarding the specific models and effectiveness of collaboration in this field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically identify and analyze collaborative models in oncogenetics.
- To synthesize evidence on the implementation and evaluation of these models.
- To identify research gaps in oncogenetic collaboration.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review of published literature and grey matter.
- Systematic searches across four journal indexing databases.
- Screening of 165 publications by two independent reviewers.
Main Results:
- 136 unique oncogenetic models with collaborative features were identified.
- Collaboration primarily occurs during risk assessment and genetic counseling.
- Most publications offer limited details on collaborative aspects and formal evaluations.
Conclusions:
- Further high-quality research is essential to evaluate the true value of collaboration in oncogenetics.
- A proposed definition, logic model, and typology can guide future research and practice.
