PURPOSE OF REVIEW
Demand for clinical genetics and genomics services is increasing. As discussed in this study, the clinical genetics and genomics workforce is small. How to meet the demand with a limited workforce requires innovation.
RECENT FINDINGS
Background data regarding the current state of clinical genetic services including volume of services and make-up of the clinical genetics workforce are presented. The study then identifies opportunities to increase access to clinical genetic service providers using new models of service and discusses examples of solutions which have been implemented in some practice settings. Creative uses of technology to increase providers' efficiency are highlighted.
SUMMARY
Clinical genetics service providers need to rise to the occasion and lead the transformation of clinical genetic service delivery. Many of the examples of solutions described in the study can be implemented by other providers now. Additionally, the described solutions may serve to inspire genetic providers to create their own new solutions, which should then be shared with the provider community.
目的综述：对临床遗传学和基因组学服务的需求正在增加。正如本研究中所讨论的那样，临床遗传学和基因组学的劳动力规模较小。如何用有限的劳动力满足需求需要创新。
最新发现：本研究介绍了有关当前临床遗传服务现状的背景数据，包括服务量和临床遗传学劳动力构成。然后，该研究确定了通过新的服务模式增加获得临床遗传服务提供者的机会，并讨论了一些已经在某些实践环境中实施的解决方案的例子。突出了利用技术提高提供者效率的创造性方法。
总结：临床遗传学服务提供者需要迎接挑战，引领临床遗传服务提供方式的转变。现在，其他提供者可以实施本研究中描述的许多解决方案示例。此外，所描述的解决方案可以启发遗传提供者创造自己的新解决方案，然后将这些解决方案与提供者社区共享。
