- What is viewed as actionable information by a health system?
- Are health systems, consumers, and providers prepared for downstream challenges? If not, are there opportunities for ensuring that consumer genomics is more effective in clinical care?
- How can we make consumer genomics the best it can be for consumers and systems?
- What needs to be better understood about low-cost consumer genomics and the implications for access and health disparities?
