Abstract Objectives To implementation an automated multi-institutional pipeline that delivers breast-cancer risk integrated with polygenic risk scores, monogenic variants, family history, and clinical factors, emphasizing operational challenges and their solutions. Materials and Methods A five-stage process was executed at ten sites. Data streams from REDCap surveys, PRS and monogenic reports, and MeTree pedigrees were normalized and forwarded through a REDCap plug-in to the CanRisk API. Results Integrated risk was returned to >10 000 women; 3.6% were ≥25 % lifetime risk and 0.9% carried pathogenic variants. Pipeline generated score aligns well with manual generated ones. Major barriers such as heterogeneous pedigree formats, missing data, edge-case handling, and evolving model versions were identified and resolved through mapping rules, imputations, and iterative testing. Discussion Cross-platform data harmonization and stakeholder alignment were decisive for success. Borderline-risk communication and model-version drift remain open issues. Conclusion Large-scale PRS-integrated breast-cancer risk reporting is feasible but requires robust interoperability standards and iterative governance.
