    In the era of precision medicine, genome sequencing (GS) has become more affordable and the importance of genomics and multi-omics in clinical care is increasingly being recognized. However, how to scale and effectively implement GS on an institutional level remains a challenge for many. Here, we present Genome First and Ge-Med, two clinical implementation studies focused on identifying the key pillars and processes that are required to make routine GS and predictive genomics a reality in the clinical setting. We describe our experience and lessons learned for a variety of topics including test logistics, patient care processes, data reporting, and infrastructure. Our model of providing clinical care and comprehensive genomic analysis from a single source may be used by other centers with a similar structure to facilitate the implementation of omics-based personalized health concepts in medicine.
