The study could expand to a quarter million people, making Nevada the only state in the U.S. to offer such a program. Las Vegas, Nev. (2 de mayo de 2019) – El Healthy Nevada Project, un estudio de salud poblacional basado en la comunidad primero en su clase que combina datos genéticos, clínicos, ambientales y sociales, está ampliando la inscripción a Las Vegas. The Project aspires not only to offer genetic testing to every Nevadan interested in learning more about their health and genetic profile but ultimately, to develop and expand the Project for communities across the United States to drive positive health outcomes nationwide.   Se agregarán 25,000 voluntarios del estudio en el sur de Nevada El Healthy Nevada Project anuncia extensión a nivel estatal: abre 25,000 vacantes para pruebas en Las Vegas. Ahora que el sur de Nevada abre sus puertas al estudio, el Healthy Nevada Project ofrecerá pruebas genéticas sin costo mediante una muestra de saliva simple a 25,000 voluntarios del estudio. Study volunteers will take Helix’s clinical-grade DNA saliva test and will receive their ancestry and traits, at no cost, through the My Healthy Nevada Traits app. Participants will then be given a chance to answer a follow-up health survey from Renown Institute for Health Innovation (Renown IHI), and upon survey completion, will be entered to win an iPhone. In addition, study participants can agree to be notified about genetic test results that could impact their health, and which could be used to improve their medical care. This return of clinical results, plus genetic counseling and other genetic services as appropriate, will be provided by Genome Medical, the leading network of clinical genetics specialists.   Evolución y expansión continua del Healthy Nevada Project Con más de 35,000 participantes del estudio inscritos en apenas más de dos años, el Healthy Nevada Project se ha convertido en el estudio genético de más rápida inscripción del país. The Project was created by Renown IHI – a collaboration between Reno, Nev.-based not-for-profit health network, Renown Health, and the world leader in environmental data, Desert Research Institute (DRI). Leveraging Renown’s forward-thinking approach to community health care and DRI’s data analytics and environmental expertise, Renown IHI has grown its capabilities to lead a larger, more complex research study of significance that will analyze and model public health risks in Nevada and serve as a national model for future population health studies working to improve overall health through clinical care integration. En el lanzamiento piloto del proyecto el 2016 de septiembre, se inscribieron más de 10,000 miembros de la comunidad para realizarse pruebas de ADN en solo 48 horas. En marzo de 2018, en la fase dos, se les ofreció a los residentes del norte de Nevada secuenciación genómica completa mediante una simple prueba de saliva de Helix. En octubre de 2018, el proyecto anunció la devolución de los resultados clínicos a los participantes del estudio. Allí se notificaba el riesgo que tenían de padecer afecciones de Nivel 1 de los CDC, que incluyen hipercolesterolemia familiar, BRCA1 y BRCA2 positivo, y síndrome de Lynch, un precursor del cáncer de colon. These conditions affect more than one percent of the population and are inherited so they impact family members as well. Ahora, el proyecto anunció su próxima fase: la extensión de la inscripción a 25,000 personas del sur de Nevada.   Serving as a National Model This expansion to Las Vegas truly makes this the “Healthy Nevada Project” with a statewide impact making Nevada the only state in the U.S. to offer such a program. “Nevada was ripe to advance population health goals because, sadly, our state ranks near the bottom in health outcomes. The Healthy Nevada Project is working to change that,” said Anthony Slonim, M.D., DrPH, FACHE, president and CEO of Renown Health and president of Renown IHI. “Nuestros investigadores están trabajando en una serie de programas clínicos y estudios científicos para determinar por qué en el condado de Washoe, el condado en el que se encuentra Renown Health, las tasas de mortalidad etarias para enfermedad cardíaca, cáncer y enfermedad crónica de las vías respiratorias inferiores de Nevada son un 33 por ciento más altas que la tasa nacional. Imagine if we can gather more data like this on a national scale and use it to change the future of health and health care? That is what the Healthy USA Project is looking to do in the years to come.” “The Healthy Nevada Project is committed to providing study participants clinically actionable data that will help improve their health,” said Joseph Grzymski, Ph.D., associate research professor at DRI, principal investigator of the Healthy Nevada Project and chief scientific officer for Renown Health. “We are providing this information at the individual level so study volunteers can make lifesaving changes to reduce their risk. We’re also doing it on the community level to develop leading-edge research on health determinants for entire neighborhoods, states and eventually, the country.”   Expanding to Become the Healthy USA Project The accelerated speed of the Project is made possible thanks to the ever-decreasing cost of sequencing. Hoy en día, Helix puede secuenciar un exoma completo, lo que permite informar sobre la mayoría de los conocimientos genómicos prácticos, por una fracción de lo que habría costado hace solo 10 años. Additionally, advances in digital health mean Helix and Project researchers can capture unprecedented amounts of health data digitally, making significant contributions to advancing precision health. The partnership has managed to remove the traditional barriers of population health studies, including the difficulty in recruiting participants, establishing quality high through put lab systems, and scaling interpretation and return of results. This development will be key as other health systems around the country join the Project. “We are thrilled to see the constant, fast-paced evolution of this Project with Renown IHI,” said Justin Kao, CoFounder of Helix. “In less than a year, we have sequenced the DNA of thousands of study participants and are now preparing to offer this incredible study in other states. Combining environmental, clinical, social and genetic data allows us to discover risk factors within communities and help people take action to live longer, healthier lives. That’s what makes the next step of the Healthy USA Project so exciting for all of us. “Los detalles completos sobre la evolución del estudio y de la inscripción en el sur de Nevada se darán a conocer en un evento de prensa en Las Vegas el martes 7 de mayo a las 3 p.m. Renown Institute for Health Innovation es una colaboración entre Renown Health, una red de atención médica integrada de administración y propiedad local y sin fines de lucro que brinda servicios a Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California, y el Desert Research Institute, líder mundial reconocido en la investigación de los efectos del cambio ambiental natural e inducido por el humano y en la promoción de tecnologías para la evaluación de un planeta cambiante.

El enfoque basado en la comunidad del Healthy Nevada Project revela que hasta un 90 % de los riesgos de padecer afecciones genéticas de Nivel 1 de los CDC no se detecta cuando se usan pautas de atención clínica. In a new study published today in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers behind the Healthy Nevada Project® suggest that community-based genetic screening has the potential to efficiently identify individuals who may be at increased risk for three common inherited genetic conditions known to cause several forms of cancer and increased risk for heart disease or stroke. En 2018, el Healthy Nevada Project® (el mayor estudio de salud poblacional basado en la comunidad que combina datos genéticos, clínicos, ambientales y sociales) comenzó a notificarles a los participantes del estudio que habían dado su consentimiento sobre ciertas variantes genéticas que los predisponían a padecer las afecciones genéticas de Nivel 1 de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC). The study focused on identifying carriers of these conditions, which include Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer, Lynch Syndrome, and Familial Hypercholesterolemia, because they are the most common conditions and early detection and treatment could significantly lower morbidity and mortality. Los resultados iniciales de casi 27,000 participantes del estudio mostraron que el 90 % de los portadores de las afecciones genéticas de Nivel 1 de los CDC no había sido previamente identificado en un entorno clínico. The authors conclude that population genetic screening would identify at-risk carriers not identified during routine care. “Our first goal was to deliver actionable health data back to the participants of the study and understand whether or not broad population screening of CDC Tier 1 genomic conditions was a practical tool to identify at-risk individuals,” explained Joseph Grzymski, Ph.D., the principal investigator of the Healthy Nevada Project®, a research professor at the Desert Research Institute (DRI), chief scientific officer for Renown Health and lead author of the study. “Now, two years into doing that, it is clear that the clinical guidelines for detecting risk in individuals are too narrow and miss too many at risk individuals.” Del grupo de 26,906 participantes del Healthy Nevada Project® que el equipo de investigación de Grzymski estudió, 358 (el 1.33 %) eran portadores de afecciones de Nivel 1 de los CDC. Sin embargo, solo el 25 % de esas personas cumplían las pautas clínicas para realizarse exámenes de detección genética. Además, más del 20 % de los portadores ya tenía un diagnóstico de enfermedad relacionada con la afección genética subyacente. “We’re at a point now where it’s possible to do clinical-grade genetic screening at population-scale,” added James Lu, M.D. Ph.D., co-founder and chief scientific officer of Helix and senior co-author of the study. “What this study demonstrates is the potential impact of doing so. By making genetic screening available more broadly, we can help the millions of Americans who are unaware that they are living at increased risk for highly actionable, genetic conditions take action.” En particular, el estudio descubrió que de los 273 participantes que eran portadores de las afecciones genéticas de Nivel 1 de los CDC y que tenían información de registros clínicos, solo 22 personas mostraron sospechas previas de tener estas afecciones genéticas subyacentes. “For the first time, we are providing information at the individual level so study participants can make lifesaving changes to reduce their risk based on their genetics,” said Anthony Slonim, M.D., Dr.PH., FACHE, president and CEO of Renown Health and co-director of the Project® study. “We’re conducting research on the community level to develop leading-edge research on health determinants for entire neighborhoods, states and eventually, the country. Returning these results allows us to understand the prevalence of genetically programmed diseases and illnesses that we have here in Nevada and ensure we are providing the best prevention and care plans. For the individual, the return of results can be life changing.” According to the CDC, early detection and intervention of the Tier 1 genetic conditions could have a meaningful potential for clinical action ability and a positive impact on public health. El Healthy Nevada Project®, que se lanzó en 2016, ofrece pruebas genéticas gratuitas a todos los residentes de Nevada, mayores de 18 años, interesados en obtener más información sobre su salud y perfil genético. Con más de 50,000 participantes del estudio inscritos en cuatro años, el Healthy Nevada Project® se ha convertido en el estudio genético de más rápida inscripción del mundo.

A major community investment in health care facilities to transform care, improve economy and enhance the quality of life for generations to come. Renown Health anunció hoy que invertirá $469 millones en inversiones planificadas, incluidas mejoras en el campus hospitalario y nuevas instalaciones de atención médica en todo el norte de Nevada para satisfacer las crecientes necesidades de la comunidad en los próximos tres años. “Renown Health has a rich 158-year history in serving northern Nevada. Continuing our bold vision and legacy, Renown is making this investment to transform care in our community and improve the quality of life for generations to come. Nothing of its kind has been imagined or currently exists in our area,” says James DeVolld, Board Chair, “The transformation of our hospital campuses represents one of the single largest investments in health care facilities, services and programs in the state, and are a result of putting people first to enhance health care access, experiences, outcomes and affordability for everyone in our community. Esto mejorará la atención y tendrá un efecto tremendo y positivo en nuestra economía local y estatal”. “Al igual que las personas a las que prestamos servicios, experimentamos muchos desafíos en 2020”, comenta Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, presidente y director ejecutivo de Renown Health. “These challenges confirmed the critical role that Renown plays as a locally-owned, not-for-profit integrated health network. We are passionate about stepping up to serve our community at all times, and especially when we are needed most. We are transforming to meet the needs of our growing community today- and for the future.” GROWING FOR THE COMMUNITY Over the last two years, given significant consumer demand for Renown providers and services, a master facilities planning process was undertaken to ensure that Renown has adequate bed and procedure capacity, spaces to accommodate new technology and services to meet the needs of a growing patient base and community.  “Renown’s campuses will be innovative, convenient, safe and compassionate places to provide and receive care, incorporating modern efficiencies in a healing environment, says Dawn D. Ahner, DSc, FACHE, Chief Operating Officer, Acute Services at Renown. “Designed for patients, visitors and team members, these spaces will showcase state-of-the-art technology, enhance patient safety and improve the hospital experience- including adding more private rooms; having flexible areas with room for growth; and healthy, sustainable buildings and interiors.” En la actualidad, la población del condado de Washoe, que se encuentra actualmente en las 473,156 personas, ha experimentado un asombroso crecimiento del 12.28 % durante los últimos 10 años, de 2010 a 2020. Según la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos, Nevada es uno de los estados de mayor crecimiento del país, con un crecimiento del 15.21 % en los últimos diez años. BENEFITS OF MASTER FACILITY PROJECT To alleviate current capacity constraints, allow for expansion and new services, a number of aging facilities will be replaced and new patient care areas will be constructed.
