To evaluate the potential of implementing established family cancer guidelines as clinical decision support within meaningful use (MU)-compliant health information technology systems. Methods We conducted a systematic analysis of cancer guidelines involving family health history (FHx) published before 2015. By comparing existing cancer guideline statements to current MU FHx standard requirements, we determined whether the cancer guideline statements could be implemented as clinical decision support. For guidelines that could not implemented, we determined the primary reasons for incompatibility.
