Genomic Medicine XIV: Genomic Learning Healthcare Systems

Event Details

On August 31 - September 1, 2022, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) sponsored its 14th Genomic Medicine meeting, Genomic Medicine XIV: Genomic Learning Healthcare Systems.  

This meeting discussed progress and identify generalizable solutions to the challenges of implementing genomic medicine we have encountered since the 2015 National Academy of Medicine's Genomics-Enabled Learning Health Care Systems workshop. Persistent barriers and evidence gaps were examined as opportunities for additional research.

The objectives of the meeting were to:

  • Explore real-world examples of how genomic learning healthcare systems (gLHS) apply cycles of genomic medicine implementation, evaluation, adjustment and updated implementation practices across delivery systems.
  • Examine barriers and identify potential solutions, with a focus on lessons learned from effective gLHS and their potential transportability to other settings.
  • Determine ways to develop and share solutions and form collaborations to facilitate research on implementing gLHS.
