Exact Contract Story

COORDINATION FOR DEMONSTRATING REAL-WORLD ADVANCEMENT IN GENOMICS OPERATIONS NETWORK (DRAGON) - THE NETWORK OF GENOMICS-ENABLED LEARNING HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS (GLHS) COORDINATING CENTER WILL SUPPORT A NATIONAL, HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL, INTEGRATED GENOMIC MEDICINE IMPLEMENTATION INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL ENHANCE THE QUALITY, EFFICIENCY, AND SCIENTIFIC RIGOR REQUIRED TO DEPLOY AND REFINE INTERVENTIONS CHOSEN BY THE NETWORK. WE ARE A TEAM COMPOSED OF LEADING CONTENT AND METHODS EXPERTS AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER. WE PROPOSE THAT A DEMONSTRATING REAL- WORLD ADVANCEMENT IN GENOMICS OPERATIONS NETWORK (‘DRAGON’) WILL ALLOW US TO “WE LEARN FROM WHAT WE DO AND DO WHAT WE LEARN.” WE WILL SUPPORT THE CLINICAL SITES (CSS) IN APPROPRIATELY EMBEDDING GENOMIC MEDICINE INTO ROUTINE WORKFLOWS TO PROMOTE MORE READY ACCESS TO TESTING FOR PATIENTS WHO WOULD BENEFIT. THIS REQUIRES ASSURANCE THAT CLINICIANS UNDERSTAND AND ARE WILLING TO ACT UPON A STRONG EVIDENCE BASE UTILIZING VETTED, ESTABLISHED BEST PRACTICES. IT NECESSITATES A LANDSCAPE SURVEY TO IDENTIFY THE BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS THAT THE SELECTED CSS MAY ENCOUNTER. IT ALSO DEMANDS ENGAGEMENT WITH PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES TO HELP THE NETWORK COMMUNICATE GENETIC RISK AND HOW TESTING WILL IMPROVE THEIR CARE. FUNCTIONALLY, 1) WE WILL COORDINATE ALL NETWORK ACTIVITIES VIA OUR OPERATIONS UNIT TO ENSURE THE COLLECTIVE IS ABLE TO SET, MONITOR AND REACH PROGRAMMATIC GOALS.
