“With Helix, we get clinical-grade genomic data and a turnkey platform to enable clinical and research insights, giving us the flexibility to build the initiative that is right for our patients, providers, and researchers. They are fantastic partners in an ambitious population health study.”

Health system leaders today are constantly balancing competing priorities and searching for efficient solutions to achieve ambitious strategic goals:

Improve
population health

Enhance the
patient experience

Increase provider satisfaction

Reduce the
cost of care

As more targeted, personalized and efficient care is pursued, it is critical to properly stratify the major healthcare risks that threaten communities. Genomics presents an opportunity to address population health challenges while driving service line growth.

Population Genomics with Helix

Driven by the Sequence Once, Query OftenTM model, population genomics with Helix allows health systems to uncover genetic risk more efficiently and utilize genetic insights at the point-of-care. Leading health systems have seen these programs improve care, address health inequities and engage patients & providers, all while reducing costs.

Improve clinical outcomes through earlier and more appropriate monitoring & treatment

Decrease costs from early identification and intervention for at-risk patients

Create a roadmap for innovation with accelerated genetic research and industry collaborations

How It Works

The success of these programs has been driven by Helix’s end-to-end platform, expertise in workflow integration and our strategic partnering approach. We provide holistic support throughout your entire implementation.

What is Sequence Once, Query OftenTM?

The genetics you inherit is the only data set in healthcare that doesn’t change over time, which is why, if you generate high enough quality sequencing data you should be able to use that data again and again both in the care of the patient and for research purposes. Because of this, we deploy a Sequence Once, Query OftenTM model, in which patients are comprehensively sequenced just once with our Exome+ assay, creating a lifelong digital genomic resource and enabling point-of-care access to a wealth of clinical genetic insights to improve patient care.

Population Genomics in Action: The Healthy Nevada Project

Led by Renown Health

• A locally governed & owned, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network

• Serving 500,000 individuals

• 100,000 square mile reach

The Challenge

• Nevada ranked poorly (48th) when it came to overall measures of population health

• Renown wanted to utilize genetics & other data to understand key drivers of poor outcomes for the community

• Engaging the community in preventative care while reducing costs was critical to Renown’s strategy

The Results

Within one year, Renown was able to see the impact of their population genomics program and the change in the standard of care in their community.

Strong Patient Engagement

25,000

People enrolled, sequenced, and given results in the first 6 months

Of non-Renown patients had
their first visit within 6 months

Measurable Clinical Impact

1 in 75

Participants were identified as at-risk for at least one serious, actionable genetic condition

Of those patients that were found to be at-risk would not have been detected in standard clinical care
