Genomic data—information about the complete set of genes that make up each individual—have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and usher in a new era of precision medicine and scientific discovery. However, there is currently no standard way of presenting genomic data, and the standards for integrating those data with electronic health record (EHR) and other health information technology (IT) systems remain under development.
Sync for Genes and the Precision Medicine Initiative
The
Sync for Genes project is designed to pilot-test and demonstrate how genomic data can be used at the point of care and for research.
