CHICAGO – The second round of pilot tests in the Sync for Genes program showed that the exchange of discrete, machine-computable clinical genomic data is possible. It also served to demonstrate how much more work remains in integrating genomics into electronic clinical workflows in pursuit of true precision medicine.
The federally funded Sync for Genes program seeks to standardize methods for communicating genomic information from next-generation sequencing and other tests to clinicians and patients in a usable and consistent manner.
