Lessons Learned from the eMERGE Network in Preparing the EMR for Precision Medicine

In this presentation, Marc S. Williams, MD, Director, Genomic Medicine Institute, Geisinger Health System will provide an update on work being done to enable the use of genomic data within the EHR.
Dr. Williams leads the EHR integration workgroup of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and he will share work being done by the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) network, a consortium funded by NHGRI. Established in 2007 to study the feasibility of using EHR data in genomic discovery, eMERGE has studied the implementation of genomic medicine in the clinic. This talk will provide an update on eMERGE activities and summarize the enablers and barriers encountered by the eMERGE network sites that predict the success of implementation.
