Essentials Briefs
The 2016 Precision Medicine Essentials Brief offers insight from 137 CMIOs/CMOs, physicians, biomedical directors, and pathology directors on their current approach toward precision medicine, their areas of focus, their IT approach and the challenges of integrating clinical and genomic data. Additional insight is provided through data from HIMSS Analytics LOGIC™, the most comprehensive and intuitive global market intelligence tool in healthcare IT. LOGIC provides adoption rates on specific technologies which could complement the move toward precision medicine, including molecular diagnostics solutions, laboratory outreach services and specimen collection management solutions.
Actionable insights:
- Current and future adoption of precision medicine solutions
- Vendor market share, mind share and market opportunity around precision medicine solution platforms
- Study respondent intentions around bringing clinical specimen and/or sample and sequence analysis in house
- Study respondent challenges around integrating clinical and genomic data for the purpose of precision medicine
