An innovative model for pharmacogenomics critical results identification and intervention

Ryley Uber et al. Pharmacogenomics J. .

Abstract

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) test results are returned variably across healthcare settings, which can lead to challenges particularly when results require immediate intervention to avoid adverse consequences. While several return of result models exist in literature, a standard-of-care has not been established. We propose a model to safely return PGx results in the context of scaled and sustained PGx testing: an institutional protocol to integrate new PGx results into patient care.
