3. Q3
Proposed Agenda

Joint projects around specimen mode, AP/molecular workflow, and IOM efforts
Notes:



Talk for this Q centered primarily on the IOM work and the planned pilot for movement of structured
data between labs and clinical settings.
The group covered the type of structured data (genomic-based pharmacogenomics testing) and the
needs/gaps around vocabulary (LOINC, ClinGen, ClinVar, etc.)
Large ask is for greater transparency for the IOM work to all members of the standards realm. JD will
work on this given his role as co-chair for the IOM for this effort.
