Personalized Medicine and the Power of Electronic Health Records

Open access
Abul-Husn, Noura S., Kenny, Eimear E.·2019·Cell

Abstract

Personalized medicine has largely been enabled by the integration of genomic and other data with electronic health records (EHRs) in the United States and elsewhere. Increased EHR adoption across various clinical settings and the establishment of EHR-linked population-based biobanks provide unprecedented opportunities for the types of translational and implementation research that drive personalized medicine. We review advances in the digitization of health information and the proliferation of genomic research in health systems and provide insights into emerging paths for the widespread implementation of personalized medicine.

  • Efforts to make clinical data in electronic health records and registries available for research mean biobanks increasingly provide access to demographic, clinical and lifestyle data from large, often multi-ethnic collections.

    “Efforts to make clinical data embedded in electronic health records and registries available for research77,78 mean that biobanks increasingly provide access to a wide range of demographic, clinical and lifestyle data, captured in harmonized, systematic fashion from large, often multi-ethnic collections of individuals.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
