This rapidly advancing field of genomics has stirred great interest in \"personalized\" health care from both the public and private sectors. The hope is that using genomic information in clinical care will lead to reduced health care costs and improved health outcomes as therapies are tailored to the genetic susceptibilities of patients. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A variety of genetically based health care innovations have already reached the marketplace, but information about the clinical use of these treatments and diagnostics is limited. Currently data do not provide information about how a genomic test impacts clinical care and patient health outcomes--other approaches are needed to garner such information. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This volume summarizes a workshop to address central questions related to the development of systems to evaluate clinical use of health care innovations that stem from genome-based research: \u003cbr\u003e What are the practical realities of creating such systems?\u003cbr\u003e What different models could be used? \u003cbr\u003e What are the strengths and weaknesses of each model? \u003cbr\u003e How effectively can such systems address questions about health outcomes?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Sciences Policy,Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030913983X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309139830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064838271231,"sku":"9780309139830","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0683590a-4ec9-4ddd-939d-671b685a5728.jpg?v=1768671368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/systems-for-research-and-evaluation-institute-of-medicine-9780309139830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
