A computer-implemented method for automatically generating genetic risk assessments including (1) receiving a data share, derived from an electronic health records system, that indicates that a patient has scheduled an appointment with a healthcare provider, (2) in response to identifying that the patient has scheduled an appointment with the healthcare provider, sending a digital family history request to the patient in preparation for the scheduled appointment, the digital family history request including a link to a third-party portal and a request to access and complete an electronic family history form using the third-party portal, (3) receiving, through the third-party portal, responses to the family history form that the patient submitted using the third-party portal, (4) generating a genetic risk assessment for the patient based on the responses received through the third-party portal, and (5) based on the genetic risk assessment of (4), generating a three-generation patient pedigree.
