Approaches to Using Rapid Genome Sequencing in Your NICU
Unfortunately, due to factors such as uncertainty from neonatologists as to which patients should undergo genetic testing, a lack of clear steps needed to implement rapid genome sequencing (rGS) in NICU settings and hesitation in using genetic test results to inform changes in patient care, NICU patients with symptoms of genetic disease continue to go untested.
In this two-part webinar sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics, our speakers ensure smaller community NICUs have the information they need to implement genomic care and optimize patient health care outcomes.
Part 1
This webinar reviews key evidence in support of the use of rGS for NICU patients as well as key steps to for adding rGS into routine clinical practice in your NICU.
Part 2
This webinar reviews the current state of genomic care in NICUs across Indiana, and discusses barriers that attendees are facing when implementing rGS at their centers and strategies to troubleshoot them with a team of perinatal genomic experts.
Standardizing Genomic Care and the Use of Rapid Genome Sequencing (rGS) in the NICU
Experts and key stakeholders talk about the steps needed to utilize rGS for detecting genetic disease in hospitalized infants and how it can change patient care.
