Accessing the Code: Interoperability, Genetic Information and Precision Patient Care

Below are PowerPoint presentations from HL7’s recent three-day genomics and policy summit, held July 20-22, 2015 at the House of Sweden Conference Center in Washington, DC. The event gathered recognized experts, implementers and funders in the genomics field for an impactful conversation about key policy, scientific and technology challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. Discussions and debates addressed both domestic and international issues.

Conference presentations address topics such as:

• Future of sequencing from birth to death;
• Precision medicine;
• Technology, big data and health IT in genomics;
• Interoperability and genomic data: The EHR vendor perspective;
• The IOM Action Collaborative;
• Genomics innovation in cancer treatment;
• Clinical genetic/genomic testing;
• A view from the Hill – What issues stand at the crossroads of genomics and better healthcare? Who are the key players?
• Advancing genomics through standards and technology;
• Genealogy, social networking, and family-centered clinical genetics;
• International collaboration for clinical genomics and cross-border interoperability;
• Medicare, Medicaid and genomics; and
• Cutting-edge ideas in biotechnology, genomics and policy.
