Genomic and Precision Medicine: Translation and Implementation

Genomic and Precision Medicine: Translation and Implementation highlights the various points along the continuum from health to disease where genomic information is impacting clinical decision-making and leading to more personalization of health care. The book pinpoints the challenges, barriers, and solutions that have been, or are being, brought forward to enable translation of genome based technologies into health care. A variety of infrastructure (data systems and EMRs), policy (regulatory, reimbursement, privacy), and research (comparative effectiveness research, learning health system approaches) strategies are also discussed. Readers will find this volume to be an invaluable resource for the translational genomics and implementation science that is required to fully realize personalized health care. Provides a comprehensive volume on the translation and implementation of biology into health care provisionPresents succinct commentary and key learning points that will assist readers with their local needs for translation and implementationIncludes an up-to-date overview on major 'translational events' in genomic and personalized medicine, along with lessons learned INDICE: 1. Application of Human Genome Information to Clinical Practice 2. Translating genome information into clinical practice and human health3. Big Data and Translational Bioinformatics Genomic and Personalized Medicine4. Designing Genome-Based Clinical Studies5. Developing the Evidence to Support Clinical Use Genomic Biomarkers as Diagnostics6. Health Risk Assessment and Family History7. Clinical Decision Support8. Implementation Science and Integration into Healthcare Systems9. Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics10. Drug Repurposing and Repositioning11. Point of Care Devices12. Overview of Policy, Ethical and Social Considerations13. Educational Issues and Strategies for Genomic Medicine 14. Regulation of Genomic Technologies15. Economic Value of Genomic Medicine16. Reimbursement17. Impact of Patents on Genomic Medicine
