HIMSS

The health IT organization wants to get more involved with genomic data management after "nibbling around the edges" for two decades.

HIMSS CEO Hal Wolf suggested that genotyping will soon supplant family history-taking at primary care visits, but EHRs and reimbursement policies haven't caught up.

Proposals from two HHS agencies look to encourage patient access to data and interoperability in research and clinical practice, including Sync for Genes.
