Latest Advances in Pharmacogenomics, Personalised Medicine and Decision Support for Research and Practice of Medicine
Led by Professor Peter Elkin, Mayo Clinic
This workshop will define the imperative toward personalized medicine and show how our current methods of practice are transitioning toward a new more specific and more knowledge based practice methodology. Specifically we will discuss: What is Personalized Medicine? How is it different from how we practice today? What are the implications for drug safety and monitoring? How can participants begin to incorporate personalized diagnosis and treatment into their practices or their organization’s method of practice? We will define methods for knowledge based practice of medicine and learners will be taught how to use clinical decision support in their practice setting. Further they will see how to use logic to build computable rules to drive clinical decision support. Lastly participants will get a hands on demonstration of clinical decision support for patient safety (drug safety), quality reporting, point-of-care just-in-time case-based education. Users will have direct interaction with faculty and will be able to present their own organizational challenges and engage the faculty and participants to see if suggested solutions can be brought to light.
