FaHRAS – Secondary Care
FaHRAS is a sophisticated evidence-based software system that enables the user to build and store a family history, however simple or complex, and to run a variety of analyses against their family history to quantify their risk of developing breast cancer in a rational and efficient manner.
Our system allows for the electronic storage of patient pedigrees, appraisal of multiple persons of interest related to the proband as well as the provision of uniquely tailored information for each individual in a quantification of risk.
The system also includes an auditing function that allows for valuable review of patient outcomes. All this enables more effective therapeutic intervention through efficient management of patient flow.
By digitising the methods by which these increasing numbers of patients are processed current standards in screening practices and patient care can be maintained, and even improved upon, as well as easing the increasing demands on resources.
