March 9 and 10, 2017 Bethesda North Marriott (DC Metro area) Genetic Alliance is celebrating its 30 th anniversary this year. Consistent with our desire to always focus on what matters, this meeting will assess four areas we believe are critical to ensuring the learning health system focuses on outcomes that matter to people. Now, as we face a transition point with the beginning of a new administration, it is essential we create a shared vision. In this, we will consider tensions in health/healthcare from services to research to public health. This will be a highly interactive conference, with a blend of the best of grassroots organizing and unconference. Participants will engage each other with the goal of concrete outcomes for the meeting. Thought leaders in the four areas will lay the groundwork and guide us to work with each other to design projects that will advance health. The outcomes will be tangible projects that can be accomplished by formal and informal networks present at the meeting and beyond. The participants are disease advocacy organizations leaders, citizen scientists, crowdsourcing folks, forward-thinking clinicians, researchers, health systems leaders, policy makers, and federal agency staff. Areas of focus: 1. Engagement: A national and/or local approach 2. People-centered design in health 3. High touch and/or high tech 4. Radical innovation and/or iterative improvement
