The current state of implementation science in genomic medicine: opportunities for improvement.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objective of this study was to identify trends and gaps in the field of implementation science in genomic medicine.

Methods

We conducted a literature review using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Genomics Knowledge Base to examine the current literature in the field of implementation science in genomic medicine. We selected original research articles based on specific inclusion criteria and then abstracted information about study design, genomic medicine, and implementation outcomes. Data were aggregated, and trends and gaps in the literature were discussed.

Results

Our final review encompassed 283 articles published in 2014, the majority of which described uptake (35.7%, n = 101) and preferences (36.4%, n = 103) regarding gen
