The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

New U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Report: Personalized Health Care: Pioneers, Partnerships, Progress (November 2008)

A message to all members of MedTechIQ

Colleagues,

In one of the last major reports of President's Bush's administration on healthcare, a new report is available for download at: http://www.hhs.gov/myhealthcare/news/phc_2008_report.pdf

The report focuses on a sampling of activities that are now
underway in the private and academic health care sectors toward integrating
personalized health care into clinical practice. This includes efforts to employ genomics and
other molecular level techniques in clinical care; the use of health information technology in
care, including the integration of clinical care with research goals; and the realignment of
traditional organizations toward enhanced individualization of treatment and patient-centric
approaches.
