gen-wg -- AMIA Genomics Working Group
About gen-wg	English (USA)
Mission/Purpose: The attempts to sequence the entire genome of humans and associated pathogens is already generating large volumes of information with clinical relevance for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The impact of this information on clinical information systems is not yet fully understood, nor are the potential contributions that clinical information systems can make in helping unravel the relationship between the genetic background of a patient and their experience of disease. The goal of this working group is to focus on opportunities within medical informatics that arise in the context of the storage, retrieval, analysis and dissemination of genomic information. The interests therefore include, for example, linking clinical databases to genomic databases, modifying the electronic medical record to accommodate the molecular medicine of the 21st century, methods for decision support in the post-genomic era, the design of clinical trials in the context of the genome projects, and any other pursuits in which genomic information interacts with medical information systems.
