HL7 to offer CME for Ambassador Program on HL7 and the Meaningful Use Final Rule on Standards for EHR Technology
Annual Plenary Meeting – The Future of Healthcare Using Genomics as a Key Tool – held Monday, October 4, 2010 in Cambridge, MA.
“It’s envisioned that the use of genomic data in healthcare practice will become ubiquitous,” said Bob Dolin, MD, chair of HL7 International. “In fact, it’s hard to imagine a field having broader implications to patient care, whether it is disease prediction, drug safety, disease management, and preventive care.”
Keynotes for the Plenary Meeting include:
-
Implementation of Personalized Medicine by Raju Kucherlapati, PhD, Paul C. Cabot Professor of Genetics and Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Director Emeritus, Harvard Medical School-Partners HealthCare Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine; Principal Investigator, Genome Characterization Center, The Cancer Genome Atlas
-
Personal Genome Project by George M. Church, PhD, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for Computational Genetics, Founder of Personal Genome Project
Panel Presentations on Clinical Genomics include:
-
Performing clinical assessment through family health history using HL7 data exchange
-
Structuring genetic lab results in the electronic health record via a successfully piloted HL7 data transmission
-
Using HL7 clinical genomics standards in genetic research
