Dawn Laney, MS, CGC, CCRC, Co-Founder and Chief Genetic Officer of ThinkGenetic, discusses how the company is helping physicians diagnose rare diseases more efficiently.

As Ms. Laney explains, ThinkGenetic utilizes firsthand knowledge as genetic counselors as well as electronic health data and validated algorithms to precisely identify at-risk patients and provide resources to support critical healthcare decisions. Their goal is to reduce time to diagnosis as well as the chances of diagnostic error. 

Using algorithm tools like FindEHR, ThinkGenetic is able to analyze healthcare records quickly, identify patients who might be at risk for a genetic disease, and, upon careful analysis from a genetic counselor, they are able to connect directly with health care providers about their patients. 

Additionally, ThinkGenetic provides free curated content and educational resources for everyone in the healthcare system. For more information, visit https://www.thinkgenetic.com/
