Primary Track: Foundations
Programmatic Theme: Clinical Informatics

Precision genomic medicine is a key part of modern medicine. Its application and utility in clinical care and translational research is increasing at a rapid pace in areas including cancer, inherited diseases, pharmacy, etc. Much of work has been done in developing clinical genomic assays, clinical genomic data analysis, and clinical genomic reports. However, healthcare and research institutions are struggling to implement exchange of clinical genomic data in standardized and meaningful manner, paralyzing management efforts. Despite the availability of standards for exchange, adoption has been hindered due to lack of clinical genomic standards familiarity. The barriers to meaningful use and development of clinical genomics data standards are, (1) lack of individuals who are cross trained between fields of clinical genomics, clinical bioinformatics, and clinical informatics, (2) complexity of genomic data normalization, and (3) evolving knowledge for genomics data. A successful delivery of the training requires interdisciplinary instructions in the concepts from clinical genomics, clinical bioinformatics, and clinical informatics. The goal of this workshop is to cross train individuals in necessary concepts across clinical genomics, clinical bioinformatics, and clinical informatics, which will promote meaningful adoption of clinical genomics data standards at their institutions and active participation in the development of clinical genomics data standards. This instructional three hour workshop is designed to introduce attendees to the FHIR Genomics specification for effective genomics reports communication and EHR integration strategies. Leveraging our initial workshop's success at the 2023 and 2024 AMIA Annual Meeting, we aspire to extend our reach and impact.
