What happens after the genetics visit?
After the visit, the physician will write a clinic note that summarizes the evaluation including the family and medical history collected, diagnosis, inheritance and risk assessment, any laboratory tests or evaluations recommended, community resources identified, and the timing of the next follow-up visit, when applicable. A copy of the clinic note will be mailed to the patient, as well as to the patient’s primary care physician and the referring physician. Hopkins physicians will be able to access the clinic note on an in-house electronic medical record database.
