Take home points:

  1. The purpose of this study was to assess the analytic validity for the CARE platform by determining the accuracy of the digital tool’s execution and interpretation of NCCN guidelines® as compared to certified genetic counselor’s (CGC) interpretation of the same guidelines.
  2. The CARE program’s analytic validity was 99.5% (398/400) for identifying individuals who met NCCN® genetic testing criteria.
  3. The CARE program accurately identifies individuals who meet NCCN® testing criteria to aid in risk stratification.
