Educational Webinar: Implementation of a Preemptive Pharmacogenomics Program at a Pediatric Health System

 

The implementation of a preemptive pharmacogenomics (PGx) program in a hospital setting requires a multidisciplinary approach to facilitate seamless integration of each stage of the process for effective clinical decision support to manage gene-drug interactions for patients. This webinar will discuss considerations for the technical aspects of the program that requires collaboration between laboratory, pharmacy, and information technology including developing a timeline for implementation, defining costs for program development, and potential to enhance patient care through researching ways to mitigate adverse drug reactions and personalized selection of drug therapy. Additionally, hospital administration support, physician engagement, and an understanding of the healthcare insurance environment, which are vital for a successful program, will be addressed.
