Research Focus
Advances in learning health systems (LHS) and implementation science have great potential to address challenges to genetic medicine. We bring together 4 MPIs and a team of investigators with expertise in learning health systems; implementation science; and cardiovascular and cancer genetic medicine to advance our Northwestern genetics-enabled learning health system (Northwestern gLHS). We will design, implement, and continuously refine strategies to enhance genetic medicine in routine clinical care. We are ideally suited to conduct this work for the following reasons. First, Northwestern is a leader in developing an LHS with systems solutions that are continuously refined to improve both healthcare delivery and health outcomes. Northwestern’s established LHS resources and expertise will support our clinical site and the national gLHS network. These resources and expertise integrate our robust clinical, genetic, and patient-reported data capabilities, institutional and community-based electronic health records, and novel web-based tools and technologies to fully realize the promise of the gLHS. Second, Northwestern is a leader in genetic medicine as a member of the Electronic Medica…
