Our Task
Task
We helped identify and operationalize innovative precision medicine technologies and supporting services across the St. Elizabeth’s health system. Our initial focus was in the area of behavioral health. St. Elizabeth has added several other key clinical areas including oncology, cardiovascular, and preventive health and continues to expand as new technologies became available.
Working with the Chief Strategy Officer and other clinical leaders, we developed a process to translate precision medicine scientific findings into clinical practice, which included incorporating pharmacogenomics testing into organizational standards of care, clinical protocols, and clinician and patient workflows. This also consisted of incorporating pharmacogenomics tests into lab ordering systems and test results in the EHR and patient portal.
