Returning pharmacogenomics (PGx) results to patients is complex and challenging. Patients prefer provider education; however, a gap in provider comfort in PGx results has been documented. This study's purpose was to evaluate satisfaction with the return of PGx test results using a patient portal message. A survey was sent to two cohorts with PGx results, one that received a PGx result message and one that did not. Following implementation of the PGx result message, there was a decrease in patients reporting negative responses surrounding satisfaction in the return of their PGx results, with 39% responding negatively pre-implementation and 21% post-implementation. Satisfaction with the return of results improved following the implementation of a patient portal message.
将药物基因组学(PGx)结果反馈给患者是复杂且具有挑战性的。患者更希望得到提供者的教育;然而,提供者对 PGx 结果的舒适程度存在差距。本研究的目的是评估使用患者门户消息对 PGx 测试结果返回的满意度。向两个有 PGx 结果的队列发送了一份调查,一个收到 PGx 结果消息,另一个没有。PGx 结果消息实施后,患者对其 PGx 结果返回的满意度的负面反应减少,实施前有 39%的患者表示不满意,实施后有 21%的患者表示不满意。实施患者门户消息后,对结果返回的满意度有所提高。
