Frederick Health is leveraging integrated genomic data within patient records to enhance precision medicine and clinical decision-making.
Genomics and precision medicine are exciting prospects for healthcare organizations looking to personalize care to improve disease prevention and clinical outcomes for their patients. However, implementation and utilization remain a challenge for providers.
Research suggests that ever-evolving risk factors significantly impact the burden of chronic and acute diseases. These factors must be effectively minimized to support long-term population health. To mitigate these risks, researchers suggest incorporating data-driven health management strategies, such as precision medicine, into clinical decision-making.
In combination with evidence-based medicine, including precision medicine as an approach to clinical decision-making has the potential to advance personalized care and improve outcomes. Still,...
