Clinic benefits
 |
Advanced knowledge Clinic physicians gain education and training in advanced use medical genomics that might not be easily accessible |
||
 |
Preventive care Medical DNA testing can be used to identify existing conditions or predisposition to conditions, allowing doctors to take preventative measures if intervention is available and provide the patient with advanced knowledge |
||
 |
Patient stratification For affected patients DNA testing can pinpoint the condition within broad spectrum category which could influence the patient management |
||
 |
Family history / referrals All DNA testing prompts collection of valuable family history that might otherwise not be available to the physician. In addition, identification of pathogenic DNA alterations can result in cascade testing important to other family members |
||
 |
Modify patient lifestyle DNA test results can act as a powerful incentive for patient adoption of healthy lifestyle choices recommended by the doctor |
||
 |
Competitive edge While medical DNA testing is widely recognized for its importance, its use is still generally not adopted due to doctors’ limited background and training, providing the participating clinics a competitive advantage |

Patient journey
|
|
 |
Merogenomics consultation The patient has a consultation with Merogenomics to fully understand informed consent for clinical DNA testing |
||||||
|
|
|
 |
||||||
|
|
 |
Test purchase The patient picks the DNA test of choice offered by the selected clinic. Alternatively, any DNA test can be selected if ordered by independent doctor |
||||||
| |
||||||||
|
|
 |
Clinic invoice to patient The patient will have the option to purchase the test in full or apply for financing. An invoice is issued to the patient on behalf of an ordering doctor/clinic, allowing the patient to proceed to a clinic to receive the DNA test kit. The DNA test kit can only be obtained upon proof of payment |
||||||
| |
||||||||
|
|
 |
Doctor signs test form The doctor must sign the test requisition form. The ordering doctor is also the doctor who will receive the DNA test results |
||||||
| |
||||||||
|
|
 |
Sample collection The biological sample containing the patient’s DNA must be collected (blood or saliva, depending on DNA test). For blood collection, the blood will be either collected at the clinic of the ordering physician, or at an independent blood collection site |
||||||
| |
||||||||
|
|
 |
Clinic sends kit The DNA test kit can be sent by either the ordering clinic or the independent blood collection site. Sending through an independent blood collection site might require extra fee |
||||||
| |
||||||||
|
|
 |
DNA test provider kit processing The DNA test kit is received by the test service provider. DNA is isolated from the biological sample, checked for quality and sequenced. The DNA code is analyzed for medical interpretation and a report is generated. The ordering physician can then have access to a clinical interpretation of the DNA code |
||||||
| |
||||||||
|
|
 |
Report send to doctor The report is provided to the ordering physician for medical management consideration. The client/patient can only obtain the results from the ordering physician |
||||||
 |
 |
|||||||
|

Pathogenic result Pathogenic results will require interpretation oversight by a genetic counselor prior to medical action |
||||
|
|
|
|||||||
 |
Genetic counseling The client/patient can choose either public or private genetic counseling access |
|||||||
| |
