Through presentations by policy and health care experts, you will:
- Understand how biology, genetics, demographics and/or individual preferences may lead to clinically important differences among patients.
- Explore the extent to which these variations exist and should be considered in developing treatment decisions, practice guidelines, and/or coverage and reimbursement policies.
- Understand the benefits and limitations of subgroup analyses to predict which treatments are best for individual patients.
- Assess how failure to individualize care may contribute to poor clinical outcomes and health disparities.
- Consider how to engage, educate and train your constituents in support of individualized patient care.
The November 30th event is hosted by the National Pharmaceutical Council.
