The Genomics in Health Implementation Forum (GHIF) aims to support more accurate data interpretation, diagnosis, and innovative solutions across healthcare through global cooperation in data sharing and clinical implementation of genomics. The forum helps initiatives reduce both duplication of efforts and promote the collection of compatible clinical genomic data and health information to enable global data sharing.
GHIF is primarily focused on supporting uptake of GA4GH standards at global genomics initiatives and providing real-world insights to the GA4GH Work Streams as they develop new standards to support data sharing. The group also enables collective learning by sharing best practices, challenges, and opportunities with a technical, regulatory, clinical, or educational focus.
The GHIF’s three key areas of work are to:
- Identify areas of collaboration and resource/expertise sharing
- Develop pilot projects for global data sharing using large scale cohorts
- Identify common needs for standards across initiatives
