Biochemist T. Michael Dexter said
“mapping the human genome has been compared with putting a man on the moon, but
I believe it is more than that. It is the outstanding achievement not
only of our lifetime but in terms of human history.”
Genomics and innovation-related
discussions are heating up with the Congressional 21st Century Cures
Initiative and the recent White House announcement of the $215 million Precision
Medicine Initiative. Join us for a lively discussion, moderated by Ticia
Gerber, HL7’s Director of Global Partnerships and Policy, about the role
genomics plays in the new frontier of precision medicine. HL7 Clinical Genomics
Work Group expert Grant Wood shares current HL7 work in the area of HIT
standards products, family health history, genetic test result reporting and
precision medicine. Grant Wood is Senior Information Technology Strategist at
Intermountain Healthcare and is actively involved with the Institute of Health
and the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health.
Webinar discussions and debates address
both domestic and international flashpoints around the core issues of
interoperability, genetic information, ethical issues and patient care
breakthroughs.
