Through a series of webinar discussions, the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC) is convening patients, patient advocates, caregivers, health care professionals and academic researchers to inform a patient-centered outcomes research agenda for personalized medicine. These webinar discussions will develop principles for how to better align priority patient outcomes with personalized medicine treatment strategies and outcomes research. During our fourth and final web forum, Cynthia A. Bens, PMC's Senior Vice President, Public Policy and Project Lead, and David Davenport, PMC's Manager, Public Policy and Project Manager, discussed the proposed principles for the research agenda based on participant feedback from the first three web forums, and moderated a discussion to finalize those principles. These principles will inform the scope, content, and impact of the project as it moves forward and identify how to make the Personalized Medicine Coalition's patient-centered research agenda for personalized medicine most helpful to patients.
Personalized medicine is an evolving approach to health care based on the latest science where physicians use diagnostic tests to determine which medical treatments will work best for each patient. By combining the information from those tests with an individual’s medical history, circumstances and values, health care providers can develop tailored treatment and prevention plans.
