Description
George MacKinnon and colleagues mine medical records to find patients who could benefit from gene-based prescribing. Their study from twenty twenty-three covers a large academic health system. Many common drugs carry pharmacogenomic dosing guidelines. Most patients who receive them are never tested, though.
Over eight hundred thousand patients' encounters entered the warehouse search. Forty-two guideline drugs were tracked across five years. Over half of patients with medication orders had a guideline drug. Thousands of prescribers wrote those orders across specialties. The data identify where testing programmes would matter most. Prescribing patterns show which clinics to target first. Gene-guided prescribing can start where the patients already are.
