Implementing Genomics in Practice (IGNITE)

The IGNITE Consortium was created to enhance the use of genomic medicine by supporting the development of methods for incorporating genomic information into clinical care and exploration of the methods for effective implementation, diffusion and sustainability in diverse clinical settings.

Overview

Findings from the genomics field have slowly started to find applications in clinical care. The field of "genomic medicine" could potentially improve patient health and treatment strategies or better predict the likelihood of disease.

The IGNITE demonstration projects will incorporate genomic information into the electronic medical record (EMR) and provide clinical decision support (CDS) for implementation of appropriate interventions or clinical advice. The sites will work together to develop new methods and projects and disseminate their findings to the public. Dissemination of these methods and developing best practices for implementation is a key goal so that the information generated from the program will contribute to the growing knowledge base of using genomic information in patient care.
