Protocol - Program Evaluation: Patient Uptake of Genetic Services
Description
The reach dimension of Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) includes a four-item checklist used to summarize the characteristics of patients who participate in the uptake of services. Genetic service programs or investigators are expected to report these details when describing patient uptake of genetic services.
Specific Instructions
This protocol is for Implementation Science purposes and should be used when reporting uptake of genetic testing or evaluating an intervention to increase access and uptake of genetic testing that is planned/being conducted. There are various ways to collect this type of information (e.g., medical chart or electronic medical record, other program records, patient self-report), and the method of data collection should be reported.

Measure Name
Program Evaluation: Patient Uptake of Genetic Services
Release Date
September 10, 2020
Definition
A checklist used to evaluate uptake of genetic services and testing and the characteristics (e.g., number eligible, and representativeness) of patients willing to participate in genetic testing.
Purpose
The reach dimension of the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework is used to evaluate an intervention. Reach is synonymous with uptake. For genetic services, reach includes the number and characteristics of the individuals who are offered genetic services and elect to proceed with genetic counseling and testing.
