Talk
Differences in pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing and platform design can lead to discrepancies in reporting, interpretation and ultimately patient care. Efforts are underway to improve standardization especially which PGx alleles should be included in clinical tests. This talk will focus on standardization efforts.


 Session Abstract – PMWC 2024 Silicon Valley

Track 1 - January 26 9.00 A.M.-4.15 P.M.


Track Chair:
Kelly E. Caudle, St. Jude

The PMWC 2024 Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Track focuses on advancing standardization in pharmacogenomics to achieve better clinical outcomes. The importance of standardization in PGx cannot be overstated as it can help to improve patient care in several ways. Standardization of clinical laboratory processes can help ensure consistent and accurate test results, which is crucial for making informed clinical decisions. Standardization of reporting can help to ensure that test results are communicated in a clear and understandable manner to clinicians and patients. Standardization of pharmacogenomic test ordering and reimbursement can help to ensure that patients have access to the tests they need, regardless of their location or financial situation. Standardization of PGx education can help to ensure that healthcare professionals have the knowledge and skills they need to use PGx in clinical practice effectively. Finally, clinical pearls and outcome data can help to demonstrate the value of PGx in improving patient outcomes and informing clinical decision-making.
