Abstract
Electronic medical records and genomics offer tantalizing insights and discoveries in human disease. However, some issues need to be addressed before their full utilization and benefits. I will demonstrate diagnosis of genetic diseases utilizing the EMR and prognosis in cancer with the analysis of genomic data, as examples of only the beginning of this transformative age in medicine. I will also discuss some considerations in incorporating genomic data into the medical record.
