Effective and Efficient Delivery of Genome-Based Testing-What Conditions Are Necessary for Health System Readiness? Husereau, Don; Steuten, Lotte; Muthu, Vivek; Thomas, David M.; Spinner, Daryl S.; Ivany, Craig; Mengel, Michael; Sheffield, Brandon; Yip, Stephen; Jacobs, Philip; Sullivan, Terrence
Abstract
Health systems internationally must prepare for a future of genetic/genomic testing to inform healthcare decision-making while creating research opportunities. High functioning testing services will require additional considerations and health system conditions beyond traditional diagnostic testing. Based on a literature review of good practices, key informant interviews, and expert discussion, this article attempts to synthesize what conditions are necessary, and what good practice may look like. It is intended to aid policymakers and others designing future systems of genome-based care and care prevention. These conditions include creating communities of practice and healthcare system networks; resource planning; across-region informatics; having a clear entry/exit point for innovation; evaluative function(s); concentrated or coordinated service models; mechanisms for awareness and care navigation; integrating innovation and healthcare delivery functions; and revisiting approaches to financing, education and training, regulation, and data privacy and security. The list of conditions we propose was developed with an emphasis on describing conditions that would be applicable to any healthcare system, regardless of capacity, organizational structure, financing, population characteristics, standardization of care processes, or underlying culture.
