EHR integration
Fast, accurate risk assessments are performed within the clinician’s existing workflows, providing immediate results to help guide care decisions. Assessment results are stored within the EHR and can be easily shared downstream. By eliminating manual data entry, providers can save time and avoid the potential for transcription errors.
Comprehensive risk assessment
The Tyrer-Cuzick scoring model is the most sensitive tool available for detecting a patient’s risk for breast cancer. It is the only model that accounts for both personal and extensive family risk factors as well as breast density. The model calculates a patient’s chance of having BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and predicts their risk of developing breast cancer within 5 years, 10 years and within their lifetime. CareSelect Risk Assessor utilizes the latest version 8 of the Tyrer-Cuzick model and maintains updated versions.
