FEERO et al| Translational research: a key to genomics education supporting their use; tier 2 applications have sufficient evidence supporting clinical utility to consider use; tier 3 includes technologies for which there is little, if any, evidence supporting benefit or existing guidelines recommending against use. Tier 1 is, at this time, dominated by cancer-related genomic applications. 7 It seems quite likely that consumer information demand for healthrelated technologies will drive increased information seeking on the part of physicians. Physicians and other health professionals already have much catching up to do to improve their understanding of genomics.Available studies suggest that development and maintenance of freely available, high-quality genomics reference and educational materials is likely insufficient to ensure a meaningful increase in genomics competency among nongeneticist health providers. 8, 9 Meaningful increases in genomics competency will require both cultural and infrastructure changes that nurture and sustain a demand for knowledge regarding genomic advances capable of improving patient-oriented outcomes. The success of any major genomics educational effort for health professionals will hinge on the ability to effectively negotiate three realities that confront any new health-care technology attempting to gain wide adoption in the United States: lack of evidence demonstrating value, incompatibility across health information technology/electronic health record systems, and the ever-growing time burden facing health professionals in the clinic (Figure 1). First, current health-care reform efforts have improved outcomes at a reasonable cost (value) as a core principle. Healthcare professionals are increasingly expected and incentivized to choose high-value interventions; those with low or unclear value are unlikely to compete well for clinical use, an obvious driver
