Delivering Personalized Medicine: Focus on Pharmacogenomics, Medication Optimization and Collaborative Care Models to Enhance Patient Outcomes

Delivering Personalized Medicine: Focus on Pharmacogenomics, Medication Optimization and Collaborative Care Models to Enhance Patient Outcomes is a Greek Isles cruise conference round-trip from Venice.

Topics

• Optimizing Medication Adherence and Outcomes
  • Describe the impact of poor adherence on clinical and economic outcomes for patient and stakeholders
  • Create strategies to promote medications adherence among all healthcare providers

• From Pharmacogenomics to Personalized Medicine
  • Distinguish benefits and limitations of genetic testing and use in managing medications in specific patients
  • Identify new personal health care technologies and the impact they may have on patient outcomes
  • Critique the various resources (e.g., CPIC, PharmGKB, FDA) for pharmacogenomics drug-gene pairs
  • Evaluate various gene-drug (biomarker-drug) pairs with pharmacogenomic applications
  • Discuss the economic cost or impact considerations related to pharmacogenomic testing
  • Understand the difference between preemptive and reactive testing of drug-gene pairs
  • Understand practical approaches to counseling/patient education related to pharmacogenomics
• Comprehensive Medication Management Services
  • Critique the rationale for collaborative models of care that deliver enhanced clinical, patient and economic outcomes that involves pharmaceutical benefits
  • Outline the value of leveraging the prescription benefit to reduce downstream healthcare costs and outcomes
  • Recognize the importance of aligning incentives in a pay for performance model that includes all providers
