GA4GH::CP

The "Clinical & Phenotypic Data Capture & Exchange" (GA4GH::CP) Work Stream is one of the elements of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), aimed at developing standard formats for the exchange of genomic data for research and biomedical applications. All members of this team must follow the GA4GH Standards of Professional Conduct... This Work Stream supports the clinical adoption of genomics through establishing standard ontologies, best practices and information models to describe the clinical data for use in genomic medicine and research, including the capture and exchange of information between electronic health records and research systems... While ontologies and terminologies provide the standard data concept definitions for capturing clinical information, an information model is required to successfully exchange that information between clinical information systems and with related information systems. A standardized structure for phenotypic data would catalyze..
