Population Screening in Health Systems.

Applications of genomics to population screening are expanding in the United States and internationally. Many of these programs are being implemented in the context of healthcare systems, mostly in a clinical research setting, but there are some emerging examples of clinical models. This review examines these genomic population screening programs to identify common features and differences in screened conditions, genomic technology employed, approach to results disclosure, health outcomes, financial models, and sustainability. The diversity of approaches provides opportunities to learn and better understand the optimal approach to implementation based on the contextual setting.
