Realizing the Potential of Genomics across the Continuum of Precision Health Care

The National Academies Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health, in collaboration with the National Cancer Policy Forum, hosted a public workshop that examined how genomic data are used in health care, outside of the traditional settings for clinical genetics. The workshop identified opportunities for advancement of precision health care delivery. The event also explored how patients, clinicians, and payers assess and act upon the risks and benefits of genomic screening and diagnostic testing. Discussions focused on strategies to ensure that genomic applications are responsibly and equitably adopted to benefit populations as well as individuals over time. This Proceedings of a Workshop summarizes content from the event.Table of ContentsFront Matter1 Introduction2 Improving Health Through Genomics3 Enabling Patients to Benefit from Genomics4 Building an Equitable Precision Health Care System5 Exploring Logistical Barriers to Genetic Testing6 System-Level Challenges and Opportunities7 The Future of Genomics in Precision Health CareReferencesAppendix A: Workshop AgendaAppendix B: Speaker Biographies
