Practical Genomics: Standardization, Implementation, and the Road to Data Liquidity

As genomics becomes central to personalized medicine, the need to not only standardize genomic data but also implement, adopt, and exchange it across healthcare systems is more urgent than ever. This session explores the evolving landscape of genomics data interoperability, spotlighting progress from initiatives like HL7®’s CodeX’s FHIR® Genomics and the CodeX community. Attendees will gain insights into what’s been accomplished — from core standards to real-world pilots — and what lies ahead in addressing persistent barriers to adoption, including clinical integration, infrastructure limitations, semantic alignment, and data liquidity. The session will also highlight use cases in pharmacogenomics, oncology, and rare diseases that demonstrate both potential and complexity. Designed for executive leaders, this presentation offers a strategic roadmap to prepare organizations to scale genomics data use, navigate implementation challenges, and unlock its value across care, research, and operations.
