Defining a Clinical Data Ecosystem for Genomic Health

Name: Defining a Clinical Data Ecosystem for Genomic Health

Location: National Institute of Health

Event Details

On April 10-11, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) will sponsor a workshop titled Defining a Clinical Data Ecosystem for Genomic Health in Washington, DC.

In the future, it is likely that genetic testing will consist of one genetic test that can be used longitudinally in patient care — that is, whole genome sequencing — rather than many different orderable panels. This data could be accessible at point of care, leading to identification of patients whose treatments could change due to their genetic profiles (such as the use different pharmaceuticals, gene-based therapeutics, and preventive strategies) as well as real-time genetic diagnosis. This data could also lead to differences in reproductive decision-making as well as facilitate disease risk modeling and population health genomics.

Ideally, this genomic information would travel with the patient and the clinical use of it achieved through bioinformatics systems, enabling inexpensive and rapid utilization of genomic data. For example, advanced clinical decision support systems (CDSS) could leverage genomic data to enhance care and could be extended through the use of wearable technology. Artificial intelligence models could predict and adjust a patient’s health trajectory towards optimal outcomes.

This vision holds promise, but there is currently no data ecosystem in place to support such an endeavor. Thus, the goal of this workshop is to identify clinical informatics needs for enabling large-scale utilization of genomic sequence data in delivery of genomic healthcare and examine research that could address these needs.

Objectives

The objectives of this meeting are to:

Define data ecosystem outlining current and optimal paths of genomic data from lab to EHR to patient/clinician and across health systems
Determine informatics standards to be adopted, systems to be built, policies to be developed
Identify research directions for optimizing genomic data integration and utilization in delivery of healthcare
