  • Evidence for Clinical Utility of Molecular Diagnostics in Oncology: A Workshop Date: May 24, 2012 (8:30 AM Eastern)

    The Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health will co-host a workshop with the Center for Medical Technology Policy to discuss research methodologies required to demonstrate and assess the clinical validity and clinical utility of molecular diagnostics for oncology.
  • Assessment of Studies of Health Outcomes Related to the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule May Meeting Date: May 29, 2012 (12:00 AM Eastern)

    Assessment of Studies of Health Outcomes Related to the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule May Meeting
  • Multiple Chronic Conditions & Clinical Practice Guidelines Date: May 29, 2012 (9:00 AM Eastern)

    Reviewing issues and implications for clinical practice guidelines arising from co-occurring chronic conditions.
  • Maximizing the Goals of the Cures Acceleration Network to Accelerate the Development of New Drugs and Diagnostics: A Workshop Date: June 4, 2012 - June 5, 2012 (8:30 AM Eastern)

    This public workshop will consider options and opportunities to maximize the usefulness and impact of the CAN program in order to advance translational sciences. In addition to providing suggestions to NCATS, the workshop is, in part, in response to Congressional interest in CAN expressed in the FY 2012 appropriations act conference report.
  • The Future of Performance Standards in Food Safety: Innovation Ahead? Date: June 5, 2012 (9:00 AM Eastern)

    Food Safety performance standards have a long history of use in the U.S. and worldwide, ranging from “best practice” standards, to defined log reductions, to zero tolerances. Mandates for new performance standards as set forth in the recently enacted Food Safety Modernization Act further illustrate their importance. This session will explore the implementation of the new law, and provide federal agencies and others with an opportunity to exchange ideas about how performance standards can be designed and implemented so as to provide optimal public health protection
  • Evidence Communication Innovation Collaborative Date: June 7, 2012 (9:00 AM Eastern)

    The Evidence Communication Innovation Collaborative explores strategies, obstacles, and feasibility for collaborative communication efforts to improve patient engagement in health care decision-making.
  • Reducing Tobacco-Related Cancer Incidence and Mortality Date: June 11, 2012 - June 12, 2012 (8:00 AM Eastern)

    NCPF Tobacco Workshop
  • The Science and Applications of Microbial Genomics Date: June 12, 2012 - June 13, 2012 (8:15 AM Eastern)

    Over the past several decades, new scientific tools and approaches for detecting microbial species have dramatically enhanced our understanding of the microbial flora and fauna and their dynamic interactions with the environments in which they reside. On June 12th and 13th 2012, the Institute of Medicine’s Forum on Microbial Threats will host a public workshop, to explore new scientific tools and methods for detecting and characterizing culturable and unculturable microbial species. This workshop may also explore the origins, nature, and spread of historical and contemporaneous infectious disease outbreaks in human, plant, and wildlife host systems.
  • Assessing the Economics of Genomic Medicine: A Workshop Date: July 17, 2012 - July 18, 2012 (8:30 AM Eastern)

    This workshop will assess the potential economic impact that the advent of genomic medicine may have on clinical practice and research. The workshop will feature presentations and discussions from an array of stakeholders which may include health economists, providers, payers, guideline developers, patients, and regulators. The goal of the workshop will be to advance discussions around the clinical implementation of genetic and genomic technologies by examining costs associated with the development and use of genetic and genomic information in the care of individual patients.
  • The Role of Telehealth in an Evolving Health Care Environment Workshop Date: August 8, 2012 - August 9, 2012 (8:00 AM Eastern)

    The IOM will host a public workshop to discuss how the use of telehealth technology can fit into the U.S. health care system. At the workshop, a panel will speak on the potential for telehealth to serve geographically isolated individuals and extend the reach of scarce resources while also emphasizing the quality and value in the delivery of health care services.
