Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Engaging stakeholders for new genomic medicine services is crucial. This study used human-centered design to create software that helps leaders identify, educate, and gather feedback from partners for genetic test offerings.

Area Of Science

  • Genomic Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Centered Design

Background

  • Stakeholder engagement is vital for the success of new genomic medicine services and genetic test offerings.
  • Genomic services encompass ordering, analysis, interpretation, and counseling based on patient genetic information.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To design software for genomic medicine service leaders to effectively engage stakeholders.
  • Focus on identifying and engaging partners to champion new genetic test offerings.

Main Methods

  • Utilized a human-centered design (HCD) approach with a modified design sprint methodology.
  • Conducted participatory design sessions and semi-structured interviews with experts.
  • Developed a low-fidelity prototype for early engagement and tested it with service leaders.

Main Results

  • Analyzed interviews with seven genomic medicine service leaders.
  • Identified three key design considerations: partner identification, stakeholder education, and feedback utilization.
  • Top-ranked sub-themes included adding information, general approval, and functionality changes.

Conclusions

  • Genomic medicine service leaders approved the software design for facilitating stakeholder review and endorsement of new genetic tests.
  • An evaluation strategy was demonstrated, drawing on successful programs to guide future software improvements.

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...
