All of Us Research Program CEO Dr. Josh Denny joins the Government CIO podcast to discuss the importance of electronic health records and the program's work to support COVID-19 research.

Eliminating health disparities begins with asking the right questions and having the right people answer those questions. One step in this direction is the All of Us Research Program.

The American Medical Association has partnered with All of Us, which aims to enable a new era of medicine through research, technology, and policies that empower patients, researchers and providers to work together to develop individualized care.

Dr. Stephanie Devaney, Deputy Director of All of Us, reflects on the program's potential to improve the future of healthcare for all.

All of Us enrollment sites in Wisconsin are currently located in Marshfield, Wausau, Chippewa Falls, Madison, and Milwaukee. The research program has started part-time enrollment in Stevens Point, Minocqua, and Wisconsin Rapids, with other sites coming soon.

Marshfield Clinic Health System is enrolling participants in this area in the All of Us Research Program, a nationwide effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the U.S. The program is of no charge to participants.

Dave Chesla, Director of Research Operations at Spectrum Health, talked to ABC13 about the value of the All of Us Research Program and how people can get involved.

The All of Us Research Program has selected the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville, Alabama to examine the use of DNA sequencing, genomics, and precision medicine for patient care. Investigators will test cutting-edge DNA sequencing technologies that could improve diagnosis and treatment of rare and common diseases.

In the All of Us Research Program, which is currently enrolling participants, researchers will follow 1 million Americans who are providing electronic health records, blood samples for DNA sequencing, and information from Fitbits and questionnaires. That rich trove of data will then be available to other researchers.

The All of Us Journey visited New Mexico State University to raise awareness of the program and enroll new participants.
