Patient experience with family history tool: analysis of patients' experience sharing their family health history through patient-computer dialogue in a patient portal.
The collection and use of a family health history are important for assessing the patient's risk of disease, but history taking is often impeded by practical barriers in the office. Provision for patient-computer dialogue, linked with the electronic health record, may enable patients to contribute their history while bypassing these barriers. We sought to assess the patient experience using such a tool.
