AN ACTION-ORIENTED SUMMIT ON THE DATA AND DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PRECISION MEDICINE NEEDS TO THRIVE

Precision Medicine is facing significant barriers to broad acceptance and implementation.

Solutions must carefully consider the big picture and the practical realities of a complex, multi-stakeholder environment.

Leaders in this ecosystem currently do not have a combined forum to discuss and define the formation and growth of the Genetic Health Information Network.

An intimate meeting of influential leaders from across in the Genetic Health Information Network

Representing all stakeholders in this ecosystem, including
  • Health plans
  • Clinicians
  • Hospital systems
  • Researchers
  • Policy makers
  • Patients & Advocates
  • Laboratories
  • IT Vendors
  • Pharma
