Implementation of Informatics to Support the NIH <i>All of Us</i> Research Program in a Healthcare Provider Organization.

Overview

The NIH All of Us Research Program, a national effort to collect biospecimens and health data for over one million participants from across the United States, requires participating healthcare provider organizations (HPOs) to use informatics tools maintained by the NIH to manage participant consent, biospecimen processing, physical measurements, and other workflows. HPOs also maintain distinct workflows for handling overlapping tasks within their individual aegis, which do not necessarily achieve seamless interoperability with NIH-maintained cloud-based systems. At our HPO, we implemented informatics to address gaps in enrollment workflows and hardware, clinical workflow integration, patient engagement, laboratory support, and study team reporting. In this case report we detail our approach to inform efforts at other institutions for the NIH All of Us Research Program and other studies.
